Computers. eh, who needs 'em!
to note:
I still have a lot to learn re airbrushing!
Interior sprayed 3-4 times with Tamiya white, then scrubbed off & done once with Vallejo Airbrush paint, lovely stuff!
floor olive drab, then dry-brushed with o/d+white. may re-do as not entirely pleased!
2 of the 8 benches fitted,
driver/commander seats painted o/d+black,
Interior vision blocks with hb pencil.
Some piping added behind driver seat, but cut too short, doesn’t show well, any advice re ‘shading’ white to bring out contrast welcome
Water-can still to add.
6 Tie-down rings added to sides of compartment
Interior roof-framing with o/d padding added. Bolts round cupola opening not added yet!
Vision ports eitherside of mg cupola added from ‘spare’ ones in HF kit. (fed carpet-monster one of the crank-handles instead!)
Fit of exterior plastic vision blocks to resin HF cupola poor, but that was probably me!
Thanks in advance for comments/improvements
