Thank you fine chaps.
I don't have any primer at the moment so there will be a bit of a delay before the next (and for me the worst) stage.
Will take an all up together pic tomorrow.
Really missing shiny stuff now.

Thanks guys. Unfortunately, my relative good fortune in laying on shiny paint doesn't extend to Military subjects so who knows when I'll get round to the next stage!

I WANNA agree with Robbo - but I couldn't like this ANY more than I do fella - can I ask a HUGE favour? Can u post a couple of piccies of what's visisble on the inside thru the hatches fella? As and when my man! Superb Duperb!! There you go buddy, unfortunately, my photography is on par with my Military Modeling skills.       Please don't be too critical of it at this stage chaps, I need to de-dust some of the interior parts as well as routing the harnesses etc. etc. So missing shiny....  |

Very nice Mence! This is a rare treat. Could you take a pic or two when you mask that...never did an interior that needed such masking and it would be a great how to. If it is not to much hassle.
Keep this mighty fine work up!

Chaps. Cheers Dan. Phil, ok fella, no problem. It's not that tricky really, in fact, some of it was left unmasked because the primer (if sprayed from a slightly greater distance than normal) doesn't get inside the smaller openings. Of course, things such as vision blocks, turret hole and rear access all have to be masked. Primer is already going on so back soon. |

There we go chaps, Dicky saved me a post. So, all that's left to say is most of the priming is done. No high tec solutions in my house, no Valejo whateveritis applied in 24.5 degrees at a pressure of 21.05psi, no sir. Halfords rattle can and a bog roll tube, job done.  |

.A job well done Sir.
