Manufacturer(s): Revell

After-market parts: Built out of the box. The decals ar from different Revellkits.

Description: The Modell shows a Fennek on Patrol in Afganistan based on a real photo. The model is panted with Tamiya xf-57 Buff and washed with black oils.

Judge 1: build seems good even if in the pictures we see very dirty probably residue of working. I like paint and weathering with a very good exemple of drybrush. Probably more dust on the lower part of the vehicle could be created.
Judge 2: At the build stage this model looks a little rough, but you have clearly mastered it by the finish. The stowed load on the rear deck looks a bit odd and could possibly use the lower edges rounding off a little more. Your plain camo scheme is attractive to the eye and not at all dull, which is quite a feat. The detail painting too is very good, although the AGL looks just a little flat. The weathering is subdued but realistic, rounding out a very good model.
Judge 3: The build looks ok (quite messy looking but that doesn't matter under a coat of paint!) The photos aren't the best - more diffuse and evenly spread lighting would help. From what I can see it looks like a nice finish, with shadows nicely added around the details. The tyres would look good with more sand / dust within the tread pattern.
