Ok got the green paint on, also painted the wheels, idlers, sprockets and mud flaps ( but only 2 will be used )

I’ve also got some figures for this. They come pre-painted but not the best painting job. Even with my limited skills I think I could do a better job. So I’m going to repaint them.

Steve,
The paint has made all that added detail pop.

Nice to see the green base coat on. How are things getting on with the tracks??

Not started them yet, but it won’t be long.

Apologies mate, it was a senior moment.

Hi Ian - I had that set, they don't come pre-painted! They are well dodgy

Lovely work Ian, those things certainly had some storage on them didn't they

[papa 695]

Got the rest of the camouflage painted

Looks pretty good

I found it very enlightening to place one of these models next to a Land Rover in the same scale. Really shows their size well.

Hi Ian
Missed the start of this - sorry. So much going on on the forum I can't keep up.
A nice kit and with all the etch and other extras you have brought it to another level. What primer do you use as it looks a very smooth? I like the camo. Good luck with those itty-bitty track links.

I use Stynylrez primer

Time to tackle these

Those look quite doable: they may be small, but only one attachment point and nothing to glue.
