RE: My first attemp
Looks pretty good to me! You should have seen my first attempt some years ago. Only suggestion I would make is the unit numbers and markings. Get good decals for that, use decal setting solution, and then go over all when it's dry with a spray on dull coat. I have also been known to take an xacto knife and trim off all the excess sheet around the actual number and country insignia. All in all, though I would say it's quiet the acceptable effort.
