This kit is reference number 864 of Italeri U2-R Senior Span, the model is constructed Out Of the Box with the only addition of some copper wire to simulate hydraulic lines in the wheels.
Panting was carried out with Tamiya
paint beginning with ref: XF-63 (Panzer Grey), my first intention was to use it as a Primer, but as I was adding ref. XF-1 (little by little) it resulted on the model here presented. I tried to highlight some panels
using very different and diluted colors (i.e. blue, red, brown, grey) but I'm afraid I tried to be so subtle that this effect is hardly seen in the pictures.
The wheel gears have received a washing with black enamel (humbrol).

I'm a novice
modeller and this kit shows plenty of mistakes, mainly poorly sanded joints and
so on, but being such a 'greenhorn' I must admit I am pretty happy with this
model.
