This model has a wild history. It was built, painted, and almost finished by my friend. He then gave it to me, I sprayed some fictional yellow camouflage on top of the grey base coat, and finished the weathering. It slept in my display cabinet for many years and during its trips to model shows, it got damaged. I always saw it as a decently built model, one that would be easy to restore, and that’s exactly what I did.

I stripped the paint down, replaced the damaged tracks with Friulmodel ones, added a bit of stowage, improved the welds and textures, and gave it an updated finish. I also made a small scenic base for it which you’ll find in the Diorama category.
