Thinking this would be a nice distraction I got it out. ![](https://i.ibb.co/7pynnsX/396-DC174-CDD5-4-B9-C-A6-B8-099-D2-B06-D8-DC.jpg) The fit is TERRIBLE!!!! However, with copious amounts of putty and God Hand sanding sticks I am beating him into shape. ![](https://i.ibb.co/wrMqMfj/8414954-E-96-C6-4249-ABA3-FEAF5-F33856-B.jpg) 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 ![(rofl)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/rofl.png)

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

Built some of these way back and did enjoy them. Like the pose on this one.

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? ![:D](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/grin.png) Looks nice!!

Painted the figure with MiG Ammo field green. The face is coming together now. ![](https://i.ibb.co/mhYN6mH/23520-D66-4-BA6-40-B6-A014-FD55-EC24-AE58.jpg)
