Gents, A short update: It has now been primed and the interior painted in Bronze green and the exterior was painted with what I thought was Life Color Olive Drab base from their three box set. when the paint was on I thought it looked too green and then noticed that in my hurry I had actually painted it with 4BO green instead. repainted the exterior and once dry the colours look uneven because of the different base colours which actually I quite like! So parts painted:  DSC_1145 by TonyThunder, on Flickr The overall effect  DSC_1159 by TonyThunder, on Flickr  DSC_1167 by TonyThunder, on Flickr  DSC_1164 by TonyThunder, on Flickr  DSC_1155 by TonyThunder, on Flickr The Engine/Motor it does look a bit too green but will darken after some washes  DSC_1156 by TonyThunder, on Flickr I am currently working on the firewall and engine bay, more pics to follow. ACW Tony |

Nice little update Tony,she's looking well tidy.Have to say tho,not QUITE sure about the number plate position?...If you remember the plates on the back,if they were in 'portrait',were 2 numbers,2 letters,2 numbers...Not sure that is the case on the AP's...but I'm prepared to stand corrected!! .I think that's why they got knocked about on the tailgate.. ? |

Chris,
I hear ya!
There were in fact 3 types of rear plate, Land scape?, and to the side (either side) Portrait as you described and the third type on later vehicles was two rows; 2 no's above 2 letters alongside 2 no's (I have pics)!
Thanks for looking!
T
And light was fitted under the plate more often than not.

A short up date! Have painted the black camo which I have brush painted which is how it would have been done in 1/1. Looks a bit untidy but that should settle down once the paint is dry, weathered and given a matt coat.  DSC_1242 by TonyThunder, on Flickr  DSC_1240 by TonyThunder, on Flickr  DSC_1241 by TonyThunder, on Flickr  DSC_1239 by TonyThunder, on Flickr Then made a start on the many fiddly jobs that now need to be done. First up was scratch a jig and bend the hoops for the the canvas and trim the vac form roof.  DSC_1248 by TonyThunder, on Flickr I also managed to start the prep for the door and glazing frames.  DSC_1245 by TonyThunder, on Flickr As ever ACW Tony |

Good job on the camo. You have a quite steady hand to paint such clean lines |
