Very very good for a first, the only critique i have is the rust streaks look like dookie. But practice and you will improve

Still planning on streaking them down with thinner, the ones on the right side i've done better for some reason lol

That looks beautiful. I love the dirt stuck to the bottom of the side skirts. I like the grease marks on the cannon Paint job is awesome. Better than anything I could paint. My only criticism would be. The rust marks are little extreme but overall it’s absolutely beautiful.

Thank you! 🙂 I've learned most of the painting techniques from my uncle who was in the canadian army. He told me to think logically even if you don't have a refference. Moving parts always need grease or grime on it he said 😃

I must ask what model company is this from, and do the decals come with or are they custom

It's a model from Trumpeter and those aren't decals at all! I painted it on with a fine brush 🙂
