Very nice build. It seriously looks larger than 1/72.Enjoyed the build thread too, particularly the artistry applied to the detailing, paintwork and weathering.

Thanks mate!

Appreciate your comment!

Really lovely detailing really brings it alive. Real soft spot for the p40, sadly mine did not turn out anywhere near this good. In fact its now a toy for my two year old son (he adores it which is nice) but everything when wrong for my build... Seeing yours look so good means I have to get another one.... Oh dam what a shame....

Good mud on the wheels, also I like how tight the cordite lines are on the guns, mine always end up wide at the leading edge.

Hmm, what can I criticise? (You asked for some)

Oh yeah, why isn't it being offered up as a free gift to the 21st poster?
