Thanks @GreySnake01. I have only good things to say about the kit, as long as one views the absurd invisible undercarriage and engine detail as a positive! Which I definitely do.
Been working on the colors for this – no photos. I found the brown basecoat didn’t work out very well under my Vallejo 4BO color – it came out really desaturated and greyish looking. So I re-basecoated in black and warmed the 4BO up a little bit. It’s curing now, and then I’ll begin working on highlights.
