Well done Antonio, your Jug looks really good !
What paints did you use, the weathering effect is particularly good ?

Cheers, D

OUTSTANDING Antonio! I took a look at your Jug and said "WOW" out loud. It looks great! I was curious about the aluminum fuel tank. Is there a story behind it? Thank you for sharing such a nice build with us. Take care. Jim
