Tamiya/Italieri M109 Paladin.A Gift for a Friend
I built this as a gift for a close friend,his son serves on Paladins in Fort Stewart.Previously he was stationed in Poland.The kit was pretty enjoyable,not Tamiya standards,but still very nice.I built it out of box,painted with mostly Mission Models,weathered in oils and enamels.The base came from Hobby Lobby.Thanks for looking.

Thanks,

Your friend is getting a marvelous gift! Very well done, sir!
To make each build less crappy than the last one. Or, put another way, "Better than the last one, not as good as the next one!"..

That’s a very good looking build Tony! Quite clean and perfect for a gift/in honor of type subject.

Wow Tony! That's a great looking model and it's built for a good cause too! The new owner is a lucky guy and sure to prize that model.
