Dave,i have a question to ask! What color did you use for the top coat?

Good afternoon Leon. I used AK Interactive OIF & OEF US vehicles Base Color. It’s a mouthful, but that’s what’s on the label. Vallejo’s Airbrush Flow Improver works with it. I would also recommend diluting it a bit with distilled water. Prior to those steps I was having some issues with it clogging up my AB. After doing those two things, it sprayed just fine with no issues.

Dave,thank you for the info!

You are most welcome.

All of the stowage and weathering are now complete. I am calling this one done. Thank you everyone for taking the time to have a gander, and for your support on this build.




















I think I'm going to stick with the desert theme, but build something from a bit earlier time.

Fantastic job Dave, you've done the beast good!!! The stowage is really doing it for me!

Just caught up with this thread. Magnificent build Dave, looks the part for sure! I have a couple of Meng kits in the stash, will be looking back at your method for tracks as that looks to be an easier way! Thanks for the tips and for sharing the work!
