Paul, it will look great regardless but I thought that first scheme was killer.

Ian

Cheers chaps . Okay so here's the explanation for the re-paint . The first camo scheme was colour wise just right, but having brushed the camo on it was just too rough . Too many brush marks and that was driving me mad . The camo that has now been applied is basically the same, but airbrushed instead. She's drying orfe now and tomorrow I hope to get the black bands on again .

Well, with the aid of the radiator , the camo colours were dry faster than I thought . So I was able to add the black stripey borders 5 minutes ago . I now have no quarrels with the camo, in fact I rather like it

Boots, cheers ole chap . That camo is very appealing to do indeed, just don't brush it like I did. It's much better AB'd and then hand paint the black demarcation . Ian, much appreciated kind Sire . Mark, too of thee fella . Lets hope I don't screw up again eh . Today I got the tires, the woodwork painted and the stickers on Tomorrow I hope to gloss and start with some washes, then onto dirt on the lower chassis

Steve, many thanks ole mucker . Boots, you wanna get a couple and give the figgy painting a bash for your Rolls . Pete, cheers sire . It didn't take long to choose I can tell yaz Ian, much appreciated ole chap . I am really glad the camo came out better than before, also really pleased you guys like it too . I stuck the figure together just now, I needed about 5mins clean-up and he was done . I think I shall leave the helmet off, just lay it somewhere close by . Might get him primed later EDIT: Here's the pic with helmet .
