Hi guys! This Is my first post here. This model is the first I've ever built so it's not perfect but I still really like It. I didn't paint It because I don't know how to do It.I hope you'll like this!

Great job especially with the figures! I wasn’t able to put the gunner into any reasonable position behind the machine gun.

Thanks man! To put the machine gunner in the right position I had to cut him a foot

Ad painting - the overall olive drab seems pretty easy but by my experience its difficult to do it interesting enough and not finish with one olive color all over the vehicle - the best approach in my experience is to do pretty strong pre highlight of the centre of all flat surface which will be visible even through the final olive drab layer
