Modifications: ModelPoint tubes

Description: 10th Heliborne Brigade, Lebanese Army, Beirut, 1989. Painting: Zvezda, Alanger, Weathering: CMK.

Judge 1: Very realistic applcaition of camo and markings. Weathering also very effective. One minor thing is to make the anntena a bit thinner. Very good build!
Judge 2: It's a nice and accurate build job, especially on the gun. The base paint is a bit rough for me. I know that Lebanese Army applied field painted vehicles, but iT2s 1/72 scale. So you shuld do the paint more detailed and more clean. You could improve your skills using some highlights and shadows, some fading, sme little chips, and e.g some rianmarks. It's a good, and interesting subject, so I hope we'll see some more models like that, but with a better paint.
Judge 3: Nice building without evident flaws. Paintwork seems a bit hurried and, to me, do not match the building. However, also the original vehicles too carried an improvised camouflage and it's really hard to reproduce something made in an hurry in this scale. To me there is also a lacking of depth and appropriate weathering, needing more pinwash and some localized Highligth of details. What a pity, considering the start.
