I didn't have a UN paint scheme in the collection and thought this one would fit the bill. First time for everything. Tony lee |

Should fill that UN niche in your SPG collection nicely Tony. Good thing you were able to scrounge what you needed from the transfer sheet. I've heard they are more sensitive to humidity/temperature when it comes to longer-term storage so that may have reached out and grabbed you on this occasion.

The package was unopened and stored in a cool dry place in an air tight container. That's all I could do to protect them Bill. I'm thinking they were old when I got them. Water Slip and Slides from now on. Tony lee |

Update Wash: Over all and pin plus mud stains     MIG's Euro Dust was used over all to knock down the bright white. Payne's Gray for the pin wash and MIG's Brown for the mud stain. Let me know what it needs before I call the washes done. Thanks Tony lee |

You've got plenty in the rotation now Tony, but this one has to be the most intriguing I think.
