my friend.
In particular I like the way you applied the weathering to her. How ever you did it, it does it justice. I just noticed the different shade of colour on the ailerons. NICE.
I take it that thats the 48th Tamiya kit right?. As for your question about the tires, this is me now, I would basically leave them alone. If I were to sand the bottom of the tires I would do it ever so lightly.
In all the referencing that I have done, I have not really seen any tires that had a "weight look" to them. Well maybe a slight buldge but not "almost going flat" look.
But hey its all up to the modeler(you) and its how you want to represent your build.
Again great build and I'm lookin forward to your future posts/builds.
If you have any questions please feel free to ask away here or if ya want feel free to e-amil me at

Flaps up, Mike
