Nice looking and clean build, obiwan! It looks OOB; is it? I also like the camo job. Keep up the good work.

I’m quite sure this one is at home here.

Excellent work, obiwan. I like the weathering and the dirt on the wheels looks perfect [:p]

Top notch!

Thanks for the feedback.
Yes it is out of the box mostly…
I add AFV club seperate workable track links and modified the
driver’s hatches so it can be opened.

Great job, obiwan. As said before, I like how subtle the camo came out. Give us a lesson, how did you manage that. Mine always comes out very stark!

thanks for the compliments guys ,
wipw: ok here goes…

I normally paint german camo lines using enamels thinned down
slightly more than milk.The pressure is turned down low about 15psi.
I paint the lines of one color.

Praticing first on a piece of glass to avoid spiderwebing.I also tighten the paint needle until i get the smallest constant line from the airbrush.It doesn’t matter if it i too light you can always go over it again.

If it comes out too stark or wide use the base color thinned to the same consistency and eat away at the overspray.

Repeat until you get the result you want.I sometimes do red and green
together over yellow or one at a time.its actually to correct mistakes
this way

here are more shots of it.
