Interesting Model. I just saw an ad for a 1/35 scale one in an Afrika Korps Scheme.
If you can get hold of some masking tape, you could try masking that top canvas section off and giving it another coat (just to crisp up the edges). If you've never tried applying a wash, you should give it a go! Will make all the vents, grills and panel lines really pop out.
Nice little model regardless.

Is that a die cast? What brand is it? Never saw one in 1/18 before.

Thanks for sharing :!:
