The wife always says I have no patience...

We have great patience for modelling but management judges us on household chores, DIY, Christmas shopping and other domestic doings!! They don't count :smiling:
As for the halftrack - looks even better, if that's possible, with it's coat of paint. Love the fire extinquishers.

I was just about to ask if you had painted the details on the extinguishers then I saw your comment about the decals:smiling3:

Base coat has come out well. It certainly brings everything together. Terrific work as always Mike

John R,
Now for the sensible reply, it is Lifecolor FS34094 (UA303) and a mix of another colour which I cannot remember, but will go back to where I painted the chassis and it is a 50/50 mix and about 1/3 thinners, then shake like you mean it, but make sure the top is on tight... Just looked it up on the bridgelayer build, the other colour is UA 718 Wood Cold light shade.
Cheers, Mike.

Started to add the details, doors etc, but have decided not to have the gas bottles in the rack.

Further update.
This is it before weathering tomorrow, markings may not be correct, but what was the norm with these vehicles?
Cheers, Mike.
