Well after pawing through the stash, I came up with a kit to do. It comes out of this Plastic Solders set.  I'll be building the Engineering Variant.  These kits are pretty simple really. Aimed at the Gamer, they are designed for fast and easy assembly. The detail is soft but the Figures are really nice and they don't build up that bad. I put one together awhile ago and with the exception of the not so good camo, I was happy with it.   TTFN&ACW |

Nothing wrong with the camo Jeff, ok maybe just a tadd too dark ?

Yes, you're right, Guy. Plus the fact that I used a toothpick for the dots. Way to uniform. The colours are really strong. An other thing is, I did no weathering on it at all. That would have changed thinks a lot, I think.

Looking forward to this one Jeff  . The only thing about the camo is, that the yellow is too dark  |

Jeff, to adjust the dark yellow you can mix yellow ocre and white, apply it pure and fade it, it might work.
Even a Napels yellow and a tadd of white mixture are an option to lighten it.

First things first, I think. Upon retrieving the parts out of the box THIS MORNING, (you know who you are)  I found that they were pretty greasy. A quick dunk in some soap and water and a rinse cured that. So they are drying as we text. Here be the aforementioned parts.   And there you go.  AAACW |

Great stuff Jeff, these PSC kits are as you say a little basic but excellent none the less.
I have quite a few of the 15mm in my wargames collection, highly recommend the M5 light tank.
