Well, it’s the night before the show, time for the final update. First was to complete the canvas cover with some PE straps. Here is the straps on the side that is still connected to the vehicle. An open canvas has to have some loose straps Then I need to add Ma…the old Ma Duce. I used a Tasca M2 for this build. It is painted with my parkerized mix. The handles are Poly Scale rust. The ammo box is Poly Scale Dark Tactical Green. And from the other side Then some final weathering using AK Earth Wash, a mix of MIG Pigments including Light Rust, VN Earth and European Soil. Lastly was Floquil Oil for fuel and oil spills. So with that, here is the finished M4 18 ton HST Passenger view Rear View Front View Drivers View As always all comments are welcome. Thanks for dropping by this build. Next up onto the bench, the M1009 CUCV Rounds Complete!! EOM!!

Enjoyed watching this one come together Mike. It's an ugly hybrid that got the job done and you've brought it to life as usual with all the nice little details. Have fun at the show!

Bullardino - You are welcome. Part of the hobby in my opinion is sharing. Teaching and learning is a part of life.
Robbo - thanks for the comments.
Bill - As always thanks for the peek and the comments.
Dicky - Thanks, Gongs are nice, more important is friendships here and at the shows. The greatest value of the show is being around all of my fellow modelers.
Chrisb - Thanks for the comment....Sorry I have not posted the mix here before, soooooo. Parkerized Paint Mix 70% Tamiya NATO Black XF-69 25% Tamiya Metallic Grey XF-56 5% Tamiya JA Green XF-13
Add the black and grey and mix. Then slowly add the green a few drops at a time, check on a piece of scrap styrene such that the metallic mix get a slight green hue.
Hope that helps
Thanks guys, sorry for the delay responding as I was away at the AMPS East show.
Rounds Complete!!
