Thanks for all the nice comments, guys!
As I understand it, Bego is staffed by former Tamiya employees. Just looking at the trees, you'd swear it was a Tamiya kit. It's no clone of the Tamiya Kubel, though. I did I side-by-side comparison and they're completely different kits.
The kit has plastic combined wheel-and-tire assemblies. Everything's molded in tan plastic.
My model's painted straight-from-the-bottle Tamiya German Gray (XF-63). I gave it a light wash of artist's oil paint, but I held off on heavy weathering. I'm thinking I may use it in a diorama down the road, and I want it to match the groundwork.
