          In between cooking a roast dinner for the family I managed to get the markings on and flick the hairy stick over some of the details, wheels and track.

          Once it’s all dry I’ll get the weathering started and I’ll do the BTR 4E while I’ve got the weathering stuff out….

            After letting everything dry for a few days, I finally got some bench time and began weathering this morning.
            Used a few enamel products to give it a pin wash and some filters.

            The commander was painted up, I think he’ll pass ?

            I think it needs some stowage of some sort and some light dust and dirt next ?

                  Very nice Si, those colour tones on the engine deck are gorgeous, excellent job of painting up the commander to.

                          Si,
                          Brilliant painting, great depth in the hi-lights and shadows, Certainly gives a sense of a much larger vehicle. Bring on the dust and stowage .
