First Update Paint:    I didn't get as much painting done as I had hope to but the old Harbor Freight air compressor spit a bearing and I had to nurse it a long to get what I did. 1945 Paint colors are: Base of Dunkelgrun with Rotbraun and Dunkelgelb Maybe the compressor will hold out long enough to finish out the paint.

Oh there you are Dupes,those tracks weigh just a hair under 12oz or 3/4 of a pound. Heavy metal dude. Tony lee |

I agree...kind of wishful thinking about the Ham and beans...need a pretty big needle to shoot that stuff! |

Update Paint: I got all my prep work done,loaded the AB and just started spraying and the compressor fell over and died. After a moment of silence :'(I got in the car and made a trip to Harbor Freight. Traffic was heavy and slow because of several street construction zones there and back plus i've never seen so many people in that store before with six or seven people at each register trying to check out.  I got the base coat of Dark Green on the gun anyway and i'll assemble and spray the high lights/fade tomorrow.  Thanks Tony lee |

Considering the workout you've been giving that compressor the last couple of months, I'm not surprised that it just up and died! Good thing you could easily source a replacement and keep on trucking. Got to love the look of all those wheels on this massive thing. |
