                        I am still painting this tiny thing Big Smile [:D] but still not done on the details yet. Basically this is almost OOB but with the addition of hand brakes, brake cables, lighting wires, fender supports (from paper clip). Still some things to add to it like spare tires, bags, etc but after the painting.









                        After painting the details and putting on the decals, I will weather this beast.Wink [;)]

                        Probably I will be done with this after a month.Big Smile [:D]

                        Thanks Mo. Hope I can continue work on this tonight. Having a new baby in the house really slows the modeling. LOL. You know what I mean.

                        That's a very impressive camo scheme, especially for such a small model! (I assume it's
                        the Tamiya 1/35 kit?)
                        Looking forward to seeing it finished and weathered.

                        Anyone here built the Nitto 1/76 BMW/sidecar?

                        very nice!
                        a wash & weather should really pop the details out.
                        keep up informed.
