Sorry for lack of update, SWMBO has been ill with an upper respiratory infection for the past few months. I have been busy seeing to her needs, grocery shopping, trips to the Pharmacy and Hospital. She has turned the corner and is finally recovering, so no worry.
I'll be back to this project as soon as her lungs heal up fully. Cheers, Rick H.

Hi Rick

She has turned the corner and is finally recovering, so no worry.

That's good news. Just continue to take care of her and she'll be back to warming your slippers and stirring your coffee in no time :tongue-out3:

Wife all better, I make model now!:smiling5: Got the base coat of MM panzer gray shot, let it dry for 24 hrs. then white washed using Valejo model air white. My first time using water based paint but since it is winter cammo and the actual winter white was usually a water base I decided to make it authentic. Also, I was going for the faded, worn, winter is almost over look, so this was the best option. I really liked this, as I had the flexibility of sporadic application with a bit of sponge I super glued to a toothpick. Still have a bit of external weathering, tail lights to install and license plate decals to apply. Then its the interior detailing and painting. Still looking for a "Spud Peeler", any volunteers?
