Leon, have you taken a look at the J's Work masking sets for "ambush" camo painting? I know Lucky model has them. They also do the "dot" or "Mickey Mouse" camo masks also.

I checked them out after I posted the original post, and they have 6 in stock at 6.99 each and free air shipping. I have a set for my Panther G and Hetzer project on order.

Check that out! Looking good. That little motorcycle kit is really cool, too.
Curious - did you not camo the commander's hatch intentionally?

Post by Leon on Sept 2, 2017 14:10:48 GMT -5
Anthony, thank you! Have to say,i really like using the AB and not having to hand paint camo anymore. Dupes,thank you! Forgot about the commanders hatch.  I'll take care of that now. |

Clean work - no camo for the gun?

Tobi,thank you! Going by the painting guide for the tank i'm doing,just the top of the gun is painted dark green only. |

Now that I looked twice I can see the difference in the other pics. On some the barrel looked just plain dark yellow.
