This is a restored Tamiya M41 Walker Bulldog. I built this kit 10+ yrs ago already and I decided to repaint it with new colors and markings. The paints that were used are Tamiya Olive Drab and Buff to lighten the shade up. Preshading was done on a flat black color made from hardware spray paints. Details were painted with Vallejo Acrylics. The finishing materials are AK Dark Streaking grime, AK Rust Streaks, AK Dark and Rust Washes. AK Fuel stains were also used as well as AK Pigments. The markings are for the Lebanese Christian Militias (Kataeb) during the Lebanese Civil War. The arab script was handpainted using Vallejo Flat White. It reads 'hezeb al kataeb al loubnaniah'. Not much stowage are there except for a single M16A1 rifle and a portrait of the Virgin Mary. Cheers! Iking
