My new project a 1/16 RC Shermie. I pay two packs off cigarettes for it and the model was still running only the transmitter was the only thing that I did get. I wil made some small modifications because its stay a RC model. First cleaning the model its was dirty as h*ll First remove the old paint layers from the turret and most from the hull and put the model again together for checking out off all parts are still there and they where Up to some detailing.

Nice additions on the details. That's a key advantage that 1/16 offers due to the scale size, easier to add stuff like that to make it shine!

Looking good! what do you think of the lifecolor paints? Problem with 1/16 scale there isn't enough paint in the jars all manufacturers use. Give us some bigger jars.
LOL

Thnx guys,
I have used a few buckets off paint ;D but I think that I have used one botlle on the Sherman.
Bill it was for me the first time that I used Lifecolor, its have nice smooth finnish. How its spraye I cannot tell you that to be 100percent sure because I think I have a worn out seal in the airbrush and must replaced that ring the bext time I use the airbrush, but I think its works fine.

Thnx guys. For me is the Sherman done, not the best work but for a RC model its look good enough and I have some fun with it during the painting progress. Its my first and also last RC model that I paint :-))
