Dicky, Leon, Glad you two young Lads approve. Thank you. Next time I'll be a little more careful with the lengths of the raised bars on the "Traction Aids" Anyway, Tires weathered and mounted. What a job that was. trim, trim, nibble, nibble, sand, sand, fit, sand............... you get the picture. Pinwash done. A few small things to do and then it's dull coat and weathering. Interior done That's all for now. ACW.

I'm glad I only have to keep track of one Dicky You forgot the Lunar Cycle Coefficient AND the most important thing. The length of CeeBee's shadow at 6:34 PM standing in the middle of Stonehenge on the eve of the Summer Solstice. There would be no shadow,Jeff!!! For one of 2 possible reasons...1- Always rains on the Solstice,so you never see the sun!!! 2- I'm so short,I don't cast a shadow!!!

Your support is greatly appreciated fellows. Here's the rub. How shall I weather this thing. My feeling is it looks pretty good the way it is. So I'm thinking some light dusting and streaking would look nice. Also, what color should the view port glass be? Green, blue?

So I'm thinking some light dusting and streaking would look nice. Also, what color should the view port glass be? Green, blue? I'd keep the weathering on the light side, a trip to Syberia was almost sure if they didn't. Remember, during cold war you had to seem efficient Re the view port, I'd go with the blue tint, to have some contrast to the overall green paint.

Dicky, That's the way I'm leaning, a light dusting with a smidge of streaking.. Just need to come with a sequence to get the best results. Boots, Thanks buddy. I'm really not much of I base Guy. I don't have the space even at 1/72nd. Maybe just a small plain one. We'll see what happens.
