Great! Another one who thinks he's building a plane!

The camo came out extremely well! It's taken me 3 months to get to this point and I don't even have the upper hull attached to the lower hull yet.

Did a bit of ‘fiddling’ today, decals on (very thin) painted most of the details, and started picking out some detail with a pin wash, wheels fully fitted now ready for tracks.

Still got a fair bit to do but we’re making progress now.

Thanks again all

Yeah thanks, I'm happy with how the zim came out, I'd highly recommend those Tamiya combs I used, it was a lot easier than I was expecting it to be.
