Brother Gary thanks.No probs so far,got some more pieces to add on the turret.Going to try and get the hull primed if the rain lets up,need to do it in the shed.

[Leon]

Hi guys,well i finally got a coat of primer on the lower hull.Think it came out pretty good.Will let it cure a couple days.Almost done with
the turret,hope to have it primed in a couple of hours.














As always ACW

[Leon]

Thank you for the kind words Dicky :)It doesn't get any better than this.Just taking my time and a lot of patients.

[Leon]

Thanks G.More to come.Looks like i have to order the paint i need.LHS doesn't have the colors i need .Maybe another week before you see paint.

[dupes]

I missed the part about having ammo racks (accessible, even) in this kit - definite advantage over Italeri there!

What colors are you trying to find? Can you mix something up?

[Leon]

Dupes i don't have an airbrush,gave it to my nephew years ago .Kicking myself in the arse now.
I'm going to do the base coat in NATO green with a rattle can and most likely brush paint the NATO brown and black.

[Leon]

Hi all had to order paints for this build.As soon as i get them i'll start painting and post pics.

Cheers and thanks for your comments.

[Leon]

Hi all,should have my paints on Monday.If so,will try to get base coat on when i get home from work.if the weather is nice.

Thanks again for looking and all your comments.

joe

[Leon]

Much appreciated Joe,thank you.Agree with you on trying to keep up.

[Leon]

Hey guys,got impatient waiting for my paint supply's to come in the mail so i took a little road trip to a hobby shop about an hour from me and they had the NATO colors i needed.Just got the base coat on and will post pics as soon as it drys.I am really CHUFFED.So stay tuned in for pics in a few hours.
