I finished my 1/48 scale Tamiya Citroen Traction 11CV a few days ago and had to wait for some good weather to get some pics of it.
The Fw 190 in the background is built from a Monogram kit.

This looks so real, we cannot guess this is not true without your word saying it... <_<
[the word "realistic" hurts my heart...]

Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

Thanks Tophe, PR19_Kit, and Gary!

This kit was a dream to build and the fit of all parts was perfect but painting this model took longer than I expected to mainly due to the weathering effects, its not as easy as I thought it would be to weather an overall Panzer gray painted vehicle.
My other two 1/48 scale Tamiya ground vehicle kits are progressing nicely but the Steyer Type 1500A Kommandeurwagon has some minor fit issues which was a surpise to me, I thought all the Tamiya kits would fit the same way....perfect.
