Overall an excellent build. The weathering is first rate! Good use of weathering pastels. Only thing I would suggest is to provide more depth to the Machine Guns, through pin wash and more drybrushing. The photos are a bit washed in lighting here and there. But overall a very convincing build!

Construction is very well done, precise and clean. I like coloration, despite is done with brush, is thin and did not cover any details. Also weathering is good. I think that more selected wash with a dark tone inside panel lines would better. Decals seem that are well put and positioned and smoke effect too. Paolo Capitanio

Nicely built with a good finish. The dusty weathering is very good but the model lacks a bit of depth and shading around the details - this is hard to acheive on a model with dusty weathering but applying shading (e.g. pre or post shading) before adding the dust can help with this.
