Superb job Josh ........ Really clean build of an unusual subject in small scale. I like that a lot.

One weird looking kit but a great build Josh

Very nice model Josh especially at 1/72. very nicely put together.


Like the shading on the panels. Shading does not always record on photos well but this looks good and show the very nice subtle shading.


Very unusual model. I am all for more varied models which I think brings more attention and interest. Also find them more interested to make than high flying aircraft.

Thank you. This was my first attempt at shading and using an airbrush. Still have a lot to learn but I'm happy with the result on this model.


I agree, as much as I love military vehicles I do get bored of the mainstream Tigers, panzer and shermans... Always looking for something a little different.

Nice build Josh, well done mate on building something different.

That is one "kooky" military vehicle!!


Awesome cool & different!

Really nice, Josh - I bet you're pleased with your first attempt with the airbrush. One thing - you missed off the Humbrol/Tamiya paint pot in the photos. All these 1/35 scale modellers need to see how small this is!

Beautifully done.

I was going to have a look at the 1/35 version but at £40+ didn't bother, even the 1/72 at £20 put me off a bit.

Yeah £20 was what I paid. Seems to be the going rate. I must admit I was a little reluctant but after a few days pondering I just had to have it

I think, with me, it was the old..."I might make a mess of it." syndrome creeping in, so couldn't justify the price. However, it does make into a very unique build and you don't see many.

That is an awesome build and for a 72 scale too a very clean build, I like the weathering and shading you gave acheived
