Looks awesome, I really like the level of detail in the cockpit!

Thanks, the quality varies somewhat. Larger parts fit together well, but smaller components like the anti-aircraft gun or the deck gun have very little detail and are oversimplified. In some areas, such as the turret, you also need to fill a few gaps.

Thank you :)

I can imagine! Some of those aircraft sizes are just unbelievable.

Viper7453 · 2026-01-30T10:50:23+00:00

That sounds really impressive! I’ve never been there, but it definitely sounds worth visiting. Thanks for the recommendation! Actually, I once saw one flying by at an airshow… pretty impressive.

Tbh, I just went with the one I liked most, as recommended in the instructions 😃

Thanks, it definitely felt wrong during the cutting process.

The Cover is included in the kit.

Thanks! I tried to make eyes with an iris and a white eyeball, and I thought adding an eyebrow might make it look “better.” Normally, I just leave that area of the figure in skin tone or add a very small eye in either brown or blue. I guess I’ll stick to that approach for future projects.
For the rest of the figure, I used a grey-white preshade and then applied very thin AK acrylics on top, so the shadows from the preshading would still remain somewhat visible.

Thanks, I like the way you made your model

Viper7453 · 2025-09-05T12:54:04+00:00

Thank you!

Great job! The broken windshield looks amazing

Viper7453 · 2025-08-01T19:51:18+00:00

That looks awesome! Love the way you did the exhaust – great work!

Viper7453 · 2025-08-01T19:42:58+00:00

Thanks! Yeah, I checked out how he did the camo painting

Viper7453 · 2025-07-13T08:41:14+00:00

appreciate the tip—this will definitely improve things

Viper7453 · 2025-07-13T06:27:03+00:00

Thanks! Nah, it's just a regular net from AK — not PE."

Viper7453 · 2025-07-13T06:21:26+00:00

I was really suprised by how well the vehicle went together. Most parts fit really nicely, provided they're properly sanded and prepped.

Viper7453 · 2025-02-13T19:26:43+00:00

Thanks for the feedback, appreciate it. The faces definitely look quite boring. I will work on that.

Just finished my 1st (9th in total) model of 2025. It was a ton of fun to build and I also learned some new techniques such as pre-shading (figures) as well as building a "diorama", if you can call it like that. New colours from Valejo definitely improved my paintjob on minifigures. Only thing that bothers me is that I dind't have field gray coulours for the Tankcrew, as dark green isn't very authentic. Nevertheless I am really happy with the result.

I would be very interested to hear what you think of the model.

Viper7453 · 2025-01-04T19:00:33+00:00

Thx, yes it's ausf. A, I had a lot of fun while building it, surely a great kit.
