I'm calling this finished - I decided not to do any weathering.........................
The Revell Dingo PatSi A3.3 Would be a VERY good model, if it wasn't for the poor plastic, and the large ingates on delicate parts. The green plastic is difficult to clean up properly, it seems to fray, rather cleanly cut/sand. I went for the Afghanistan version, as the camo looked better than standard NATO. You have the option of a 40mm grenade launcher, or as I chose the big Browning - it looks meaner than the grenade launcher!
Having said that, the parts fit pretty well, I didn't use any filler, and would be detailed enough out of the box, for most modellers. Considering I only paid ยฃ9.99 for this delivered ( from ebay - since price has gone up ) it's a lot of plastic for your money - and it doesn't look bad.
One note: I don't know how long the model will stay like this - the mirrors & aerials are very fragile!
Thanks to Si & Steve for their GB, and thanks for dropping by!
