COMMENTS

One of the best MG kits to build. Solid construction. Very few seam lines to clean up after assembly. The moving joints are tight for extreme poses.

MODIFICATIONS

Cargo Container - The box and ammo rack was scratch built from sheet styrene. The crates are styrene as well. The jerry cans are resin castings from a modified 1/76 jerry can. The ammo clips are resin castings of the kit supplied ammo clip.

A motor tool was used to add dents and dings to the model for that much loved look.

FINISH
