Now something about the
kit, it is built straight from the box and it is the ICM kit. It is a nice kit
with beautiful details, the engine is also from the kit, the panel lines are
nice and the cockpit is one with good details. The figure is from Revell and is
a Re-Box from the old ICM kit. The oil drums and jerry cans are from
Tamiya and the
oil container is from a Revell Set. The base is scratch built using several
materials.
Enjoy the photos.
