Why did you post CAD images? That's funny Marco!!! Beautiful work, Sniper. And yes, it almost looks like you made CAD images of a new Leopard 1 kit!!   Best wishes, Ian |

LOL, not CAD just good quality primer Sorted the tracks out last night using VMS track blackener, gave them a burnish then painted the track pads. Tedious but worth it!   |

Busy boy today, I've now sprayed the turret and wheels etc in the main colour. For this I've used tamiya XF-51 khaki drab as it's a pretty good match for gelboliv seen on the real thing at the time. However I have added a few drops of flat yellow just to lighten it slightly for scale effect. I'll be adding more yellow as I progress which will help me add highlights.   |

Ohhhhh...........nice work, Sniper. Good call on the color match too. I shot AK Gelboliv out of the bottle on my German M-48 and what you have looks spot on. Really nice work.
Regards,
Ian

That's cool Pete . I'm surprised that you have painted the turret first, and then started on the hull. Isn't that going to be a tad tricky to get the Gelboliv the same shade? |

Cheers Paul, no mate as I have the original shade in a pot for the hull. I wanted to get the tow ropes on the hull first but times ticking away so I'll just get on with it.
