Thinking this would be a nice distraction I got it out.  The fit is TERRIBLE!!!! However, with copious amounts of putty and God Hand sanding sticks I am beating him into shape.  Really can’t believe how bad the fit is considering it is Tamiya. |

Sorry the fit is bad, Tommy, but I am sure you will beat this one into shape. Looking forward to it.

You'll be getting a 1/16 Panther or StuG III G next, just so he has something to direct around   |

Something different for a change, nice! Coming together nicely, despite the fit. Looks good.

That is unusual for a Tamiya kit. I'm sure you will make up for the poor fitting issues.

Thanks PorcoRosso. I think I did. Needed my new scriber to add back the seams and lines. Worked very nicely.

Are you sure you weren't trying to fit the right boot on the left foot?  Looks nice!! |

Painted the figure with MiG Ammo field green. The face is coming together now.  |

He's certainly annoyed with someone |
