Andy ive no pe for the jerry can but i did have that idea but ill figure somit out for that bit

[robbo]

Nice clean build mate, do you paint the seats seperate

[spud]

there assembled just not instaled so im able to paint the interior fully with ease

i was on a Roll getting everything primed then i started to get moisture mixed in me primer.... I had the body almost finished too and its the last thing i was priming.

Not happy

thanks guys, finished the priming this morning, but humidity is still high so paint will have to wait a bit longer

[spud]

OK finished the primer this morning, then this afternoon i got the base color down. its a mix of XF 60 and XF-57 just a tad of xf-57 to take the harsh yellowish out of the base color. Next up is a coat of Satin, then some chipping fluids so i can wear off the camo in places.

Great paint job there!

[bullardino]

Are you trying to be faster than Dicky?

Great job Spud

[spud]

thanks guys. Luigi that will never happen

[robbo]

You know when you see a build and think "I want one of these" well, I want one of these

[wbill76]

Primer and base coat down, now on to the fun part!

[spud]

Thanks a lot guys, it's a great little kit as is to be expected from tamiya,

You are a sick man Spud, starting yet another model. Nice clean work so far mate.

[spud]

[bbd468]

Sweet Paint job Spud! I hear ya on the Mojo. Once i decide to build a wingy...Ill have an emergency armor kit on standby...armor Withdraws could be more than i can bear! ;D

[spud]

Thanks Gary.

Ok i put down some Camo, not 100% pleased with it but its OK weathering should make it better

[TRM]

Thinking that looks pretty good there spud!!! Like you said, it will tone down with some of that weathering!!!! Keep it coming!!!

[wbill76]

Pattern looks good from here Spud. If you're not 100% happy with it you could touch up a little of the overspray or just work it into the weathering...since this is a Berlin '45 setting, the crew's probably wouldn't have been too neat in their application methods depending.

[spud]

lol Bill good point, im sure weathering will make it better.

Thanks T

[multicam]

I missed this one Spud. Great work so far. I love this vehicle and simply gotta get one. Great to see you do it first:). Camo looks great and I can't wait to see how you choose to weather it.

[spud]

thanks Nate

[bbd468]

Hey Spud,

This is just my opinion mind you...I think what you have right there is probably more accurate and realistic a field applied camo job as you can get. I think it would weather up quite niclely man! I LIKE IT!!! Thats my 2 cents....

Gary

[spud]

Thanks Gary

[bigjohn]

Gary is right on the money there spud. I'm sure to crews weren't looking at a model box to go off of. Their only concern was to get the cammo applied. sometimes in extrema conditions.

I think it looks just fine buddy.....

[deafpanzer]

I agree with guys... there were no instructions for the crew how to apply camo while they are out there on the field. I think you did good and they always look better after weathered.

[robbo]

I think it look fine Spud and weathering can do wonders mate
