Looking nice Richard. I presume that you will leave the engine bay open to show off that work. Perhaps you should turn the turret sideways a little more to get the duck bills out of the way. This will let you see more in the engine bay and down the Drivers hatch too … there is a lot to see in there and it looks like it is worth seeing too.
May I be a pain and mention that 2 of the ‘arrow’ bits (the ones on the mantlet and rear of the turret) are missing. The kit does not provide them, but they are actually needed, one each side between the .50 cal and the ones already there. These were pulled backwards on the real thing and the ends inserted into eyelets in the tarp cover to hold it up so the turret crew could see out. No biggie for you as the vehicle looks like it is getting maintenance at the rear lines and the tarp slung over is fine. Just slip some replacemnts in there and all will be good.
JHULK: I started with a dark coat of JA Green, then applied lite coats of olive green, then olive drab, and finally olive drap with a few drops of tan. All Tamiya Acryl. It is the first time I tried this method and I am happy with the results.
Thanks for the kind words all, it really is a nice kit.
gderue: That is Tamiya Acrylic Olive Drab(XF-62) which was softened with some tan. I started with a dark coat of JA Green, then applied lite coats of olive green, then olive drab, and finally olive drap with a few drops of tan. I like to put on thin coats in layers starting with dark then fading to light.
