Nice mate, I think that texture on the turret looks spot on too

Mark, Marco, Pete and Steve..........thanks guys I`ve just done the second coat and added a small amount of Dark Yellow to the mix to lighten it a bit more, i will then do the final coat even lighter..........the reason i want it to start very light is because the next stages will bring it back darker again....`specially when i do a gloss coat, plus the filters/weathering/washes etc

Ok......next bit Gave it a second light coat of OD but this pass i added some Dark Yellow, at 3:1 ratio..........i`ve only gone over the top sections and some of the sides....i kept it subtle coz the next final thin layer will be lighter still as mentioned in above post...then i`ll gloss and add a few decs....then comes the part to decide which route i wanna go down i.e. Green or worn white ........ i think i know deep down what i wanna do but it`s the methods i can`t decide on, i`ve done a few whites now and can`t feckin` remember how i did any of `em
Anyhoo.......pics
As per usual i`ve had to adjust my pics as best as i can.....my camera and lighting is not great i`m afraid , the darker areas are a bit darker than that to the eye.......`specially on the engine covers/ lower sides and lower turret but hopefully it can be noticed a bit
More soon........thankee all

That's a beauty, indeed. I can't wait for the weathering and stowage.
Best wishes,
Ian
