First one of these Meng kits.
More parts than expected. But fun to build and paint.






Sorry for auto rotates

Ha! Cute little fella. Nice one.

I remember back in the 80s when I used to do model kits as a hobby you could get cartoony planes a bit like these. At the time I sniffed at them, but the idea has grown on me in the intervening decades.

Nice painting - and yes, it's a cute little model.

Very nice. Just picked up my first of these kits  - did you hand paint or air-brush the model?

Thanks for that James.

Did you spray on the sprue or assemble first?

(I normally only tackle 28-35 mm minis and tanks are new to me to be honest).

Assembled first.
But off the base and with turret and wheels separate so I could spray behind and not leave any plastic exposed.
Then slap on transfers, paint it all up and glue all the components together...except the turret.
