The colouring in has started!

I used LifecolorOlive Drab Ground Colour from their 3 pot Olive Drab set which I think is a good match for a british vehicle post Deep Bronze Green.
Black Camo done with Lifecolor Black!

Dicky - I masked with Jumping Clay which I suppose is similar to silly putty/ lightweight Play dough.
It comes in small sealed bags and I bought them quite a while ago from The Works Art Discount/Book store.
Used similar to Blu Tack but not as sticky.

Redid the boack areas and then gave a coat of Klear and applied decals and most of the detail parts.
This is where I am now prior to washes and weathering.
