The wheels and tracks are now fixed in place and I've slopped a bit of tamiya smoke on the insides of the clear hub caps and picked out the small bolt in the middle of each one. They will go on after matt varnish. The spare tracks also went on as did the fuel can & the rear exhaust vent had a bit of dark grey & dark rust sponged on. So the model is now ready for washes & filters.

Washes and filters done and matt varnish too. I didn't add any oil fading as I'll use pigments for some straks later on.

Well it's now time to pull this one from the shelf of doom and finish the bugger! With just the figure, stowage and some light weathering to do, oh and a base, it should be done in no time. I hope

Tarps and rucksacks now painted & matt varnished. The figure needed some putty around the arm joins so once dry I'll finish that area off. I'll be painting the figure in BDU's for no other reason than to have a bit of contrast between the model and the figure.
