Ok...as promised, some work on the FAMO..........decided to change my original idea and go somat different..
First up some pre-weathering...
Next up.....
Chipping fluid and a couple of light slightly off white passes
And finished off with some sponge work with a brighter white, i`ll weather these down a bit more and then finish with the light white again..
I`ve seen a few 18T Flak`s done in winter white and some of the smaller 7`s and 8`s and also a few DeMag`s etc, not seen many 18T done in it so i thought what the heck.....not done a white over Grey for a long time and who`s to say they weren`t.......i have found a few winter ref pics but a FAMO one close up is hard to find.
This is just a base to start from.......i`ll probably hold fire there and bring the cab to the same level, not to fussy on the load bed as i have plans for that......one of which i need to discuss with the esteemed Mr B
Cheers all
