Hi, Having spent several years without painting models, I wanted to get back to it with the VAB P during Operation "Serval". VAB from the Miniature Model range (MM-R145). More photos here: www.flickr.com/photos/75387893@N03/sets/72157647211661096/  I first started to add boxes and bags in the basket "Felin", then first coat of paint.  Then, painting of three shades of NATO from AK Interactive.  To give him the scaled effect, I applied the "worn effects" from Ak Interactive.  I hope you enjoy it! Julie |

Hi, Thank you to all. There that makes me want to do another one. I had forgotten how it was fun to go up and paint a model. For this particular camo, I was inspired by many photos during operations in Mali. But I also had the advantage of being able to study one of these extremely worn camouflage full since I took photos when back in France after Serval www.flickr.com/photos/126332935@N06/sets/72157645788541003/Julie |

Looks great! Amazed you were able to spray such a clean base camo color - I have yet to figure out the "magic ratio" of thinner to get the AK paints to come out of my airbrush properly.
