As usual, very well done! That is quite a tiny subject.

so cute and little!

Seriously good work on such a small subject, great.

This tiny car has four-wheel drive?
Wonderful work on such a rarely seen build. Looking at the sprues this really is what I call a short run kit!

Did you ever try to airbrush those Italeri paints?
