Update,
So back on this build at last. The launch arm, rollers and mount have all been primed and recieved a top coat.... I searched through my paints (not really, just looked in the drawers) and found differing shades of NATO Green. And you know how it goes do I use this one or that one or....... So! I got out some of the greens that with a little tinkering pre dark wash were near to NATO Green, and a study of photos..... So! out of the six bottles I had AK, 4BOx2, Zlens***** whatever x2, another green x2 and then from Vallejo there was that starter set for Olive Drab vehicles of which I used three of those little bottles, and I think there was actually an AK olive drab thrown in for good measure... There was no ratio used or scientific examination they were all drained into an empty 100ml bottle, given a good shaking and out came a green that looks more NATO Green than what is on offer.... Pics later if you insist.
Also through the spray shop was the susspension units and all the wheels, drive sprockets and return rollers to give the new cheapie airbrush a workout, and it performed better than expected.
Today has been detail day - first on the bench was the commanders periscopes and guard, then the two fire extinguisher brackets that fit onto the frame and finally the wiring and junction box So,
As the pics show the bits for the brackets, then one bracket close up and finally all in place. I was going to add the fire extinguishes themselves but they would hide the brackets....
Next it is detailing the hatches, lights and then a look around to see if i have missed anything before priming takes place.
Cheers
Mike.
