hey spud thanks i had a little problem with my quick connect on my airbrush while i was painting and cleaning the tip the quick connect disconnected and the airbrush fell on my work bench and paint went every where i guess it couldve been worse only had 3 splatters on the ele and at that point i was like the crew did it when they put camo on it lol.

Nice camo you got there for the Elefant mate. Nice suitable base for weathering!

Any particular Elefant you got in mind?

Cheers

[wbill76]

Camo pattern looks good, nice distribution between the three colors, breaks up the vehicle lines just right IMHO.

[panzerman75.]
