J-hulk: Thanks

Thundergod: This the Tamiya one. It was given to me as a gift by a friend who stocks models but never builds them. Big Smile [:D]

Hey you should finish your dio, too afterall it is almost complete or is it? Tongue [:P]

Drawde: Thanks, too. It's 1/35 Tamiya. Nope haven't seen that one but Tamiya just issued a 1/48 Kettenkrad with a trailer for a goliath.

jimq: Appreciate the good words, thanks.

Frosty: The "grilling" part sounds delicious! Big Smile [:D]

Thanks.

Wildwilliam: Applied the wash last night but I am letting it dry a bit before further weathering. Thanks, too.

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?

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.

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.
