C'mon. The top picture CAN'T be the model!! If it is, you can paint figures better than anyone I've ever seen!! Big Smile [:D]

Great-looking model!! One difference that I did notice was that the top picture showed red wheels, but the model has green wheels. Not that I'm a RIVET COUNTER or anything..................

Hi Gary, thanks for the kind words! On closer inspection, the wheels on the actual A/C are red....how'd I miss that!? I did mine with aluminum and a wash of burnt umber, I thought Gentile's were just dirty!! Mine do look kinda green in the pics, I guess, but they're "dirty aluminum". I guess I better get the brush and bottle back out!!
