Just had a catch up, one word - Excellent.

just got to find the right colour for Service Brown SCC2.

Not MIG, it’s far too light and orange. AK 3d Gen seems to be fairly close, though.

Anything that looks like milky coffee (the official description) or rich ginger brown with a hint of green (Mike Starmer) would do fine…….i mixed mine from Tamiya roughly following Starmers recipe,…..

Superb work, it looks outstanding.

I'd love to have a go at this kit, but I have to say the amount of PE worries me. That being said I guess you need to start somewhere.

I’ve got the turret internal parts fitted and painted, just needs some weathering and the radio fitting.
