Update time
Well the BMP is well on the way now so i got back onto this the last few days,while i have been improving my rust skills on large areas on the BMP i wanted to do small areas on this.
I want this to be a well used BTR thats been parked up for a bit and is out on a recce run to keep it servicable. Pics soon but base colours are on hull is sealed . I used the AK WORN EFFECTSand Mr Hobby paint. I had a complete disaster with hairspray and Lifecolour when i started to rub with warm water it cam off in sheets so i took the lot off
