Thank you all for the kind words.
Karl, I dont know if you saw the UN Peacekeeps GB where I built this, but this sucker was really starkly white before the weathering. You practicly needed sunglasses when it was freshly painted…
Gamera, there is a simple trick to painting white- do a flat white base coat and then a Satin, Semi-Gloss, or Gloss top coat to make your white really vivid. Weathering will tone it down as much as you prefer…
Josiah, thank you.
Bob, it was hard to tell from most of the reference photos that I could find about the alignment of the smoke grenade launchers. Of course after I got that part assembled I found an online photo that shows them to be more “V” arrayed than “W” like I did it.
Brian, I do need to find some proper crew figures for it. From photos that I found, it looks like the Malays use British style CVC helmets and body armor.
Jibber, thnaks, this one has such a nice busy interior, it would be a shame to hide it all. I like all the openings open here.
RB, lets just say that this UN white scheme is probably the most challenging monotone scheme that I have ever done.
