- Construction: very good building and good use of PE parts too. You have substituted running gear with the modelltrans one that add more realism to the model. Also scratched parts are ok with a general view very clean of all your work Coloration: I find it too dark, probably if you would been start from a lighter base color would be better. it seems you colored your model only with brush and i like the general look. Weathering: More pinwash and highlight could improve your work and also some more attention to the details (like headlight). You can also add some scratches, drip and mud, especially on the running gear parts Conclusion: a good model that could improve with some little addition.

- You've done a pretty good job of a limited run kit although there are some allignment problems with the right side running gear. The general painting is pretty good and I like the hand painted yellow pattern but I'm not convinced with the colour it's too yellow. The red-brown coloured wash has gotten out of controll and it has discoloured the paint in an odd way, a more controlled and darker pin wash would have been a better option. I really like the stowage, it is well pianted and placed adding realism to the model. Overall this is a nice model of a unique and interesting subject, good work.

- Nice work with the home made and other upgrades. I can't see any major problems in the contruction stage. But please next time drill the MG! Base color are a bit dark, especially the yellow. The dark wash is overdone. You used it like a filter, but for a filter you need less paint in the mixture. With some rainmarks, little chips, and other weathering techniques you can reach a better and more spectacular result. Also dark brown pigment is a bit overdone especially on the front wheel. So it's a nice model, great subject and with right use of oils it could be a masterpiece!
