Hey Guys, I had to take a break from my 'winged' builds, to work on a project that has been lurking in the back of my mind for some time.

 

Being frustrated about the absence of 1/32 vehicles to go with 1/32 aircraft models, I got this mad idea, using one of the few models available from the last century...

Work began by cutting up the kit as it is only the front and bottom that are reused for this build..

After a lot of scratchbuilding, it looked like this...

For the weathering I used different oil washes + pigments...

Now all I need, is to decide how much to cover and some decals to go with it...
