FINISHED? Academy Opel Blitz 1/72

Okay, well my first PAINTED model I've built is this Academy Opel Blitz. I like the kit personally....the parts are a bit too flimsy and break easy. Good thing is though, they're easy to fix

I am 13 , so it's not something we'd see Wojtek, Terry, Maglar, etc. etc. etc. (Many awesome model builders on this forum. )

Enjoy?

I take more tomorrow when it's not about to rain, hopefully.

Great job...I like the weathering.

Were you thinking about using this in a diarama?

Thanks guys

I don't know GG if I still have tome I may. But I'd like to enter a P-40B in the MTO GB. Of course it wouldn't win, but it's worth a shot!

Plus, I may be getting an airbrush soon, so the paint job would probably be nicer!

Evan I liked the kit a lot, you should try it!

Got to agree with all! For a first attempt at painting,and on such a small model, it's great! The mud looks pretty good too. Well done mate!
