1:35 Scale, turned out better than expected. Finally gound a good way to apply pastels as pigments for the dudt effect and how to create a basic diorama. Next: will add a stop sign in arabic for context.

Great job and weathering looks fantastic. I used to be a TOW gunner in the US Army.

Not bad. The missile in the launch tube should be OD with a yellow stripe at the front and a brown stripe on the rear… the lid for the Missile Guidance Set is fully removed, not hinged to open like that. Former TOW gunner here once upon a time…

I have this kit but never bothered to start it. How was it to build?

That’s awesome I was actually a TOW gunner in Desert Storm. Still have the flag from the outpost I got to blow up.

We had burlap on the windshield, and our ruck sacks were strapped to the tailgate. We didn’t have the “V” on the door. We had a vs17 panel tied to the cargo door.
