Tomoshenko Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sean Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 Nice one, great paint and weathering, would be easy to mistake this for 1/48 or larger, Sean 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rob85 Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 (edited) 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.... Edited September 20, 2014 by rob85 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a disease Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 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? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
