Oh, I really like this, Tzig. There’s such a fine art to making a scale model look realistic and it’s not at all an easy skill to master. For me, it’s something about attention to detail, getting the paint ‘scale correct’, getting the weathering to look like weathering rather than just a dirty model, and lastly bringing all three of these elements together carefully with patience.
This kit ticks every box, and I think it’s a special build.
One of Tamiya’s many great kits that always looks good even when built straight out of the box, but your attention to detail and realistic finish have lifted this to another level altogether.

Beautifully done, amigo! It looks ready to drive away! Superbly weathered and detailed.

Excellent! This one has lots of character. Fun reminder of “The Rat Patrol.”
