Nice mate, and you are right the paint bloody stinks! The only thing that put me off them was the difficulty I had in lightening the tone. But that was probably down to me. I'll use the SSC 15 again though and try their pink or white to fade the colour next time.

Good to see some paint. I reckon those ak paints are basically family of Tammi and Mr. Color ones?
Cheers

Great paint application. Love the camo netting too. Yes, that paint has an interesting aroma. Not as bad as the AK Diorama Snow, though. That's like dirty socks in a jar.

Beautiful work Paul! I just watched a guy on Missing Lynx do one of these Churchill tanks with the Hessian camouflage in 1/72 scale the same way you did. Apparently the Black Dog conversion set was too poorly molded so he did individual strips over gauze like you did.
Way to go and keep it coming!

Chaps, many thanks indeed . Pete, I have news for you on the paint mix thing . John, we'll see just how patient I must be when I start colouring the strips in . Wouts, you've awakened the alchemist in me . Joe, thankee kindly sire . Ian R., this paint range certainly does have some good shades indeed . Ian H., thanks fro that, and I reckon I'll steer clear of the snow stuff . Boots, cheers mucker . Mark, thank too ole chap . I imagine that in 1/72 that would be fun indeed . Okay, I blame Wouts for this, but at least all went well . When he mentioned the possibility that the base paint could all be from one company, a little light went on in my ole noggin'. I have some Lacquer paints from Mr.Hobby and thankfully they are lighter shades than the OD from AK. They smell different too, although they both stink to high heaven . Anyway I took a drop of Mr.Hobby IDF Grey 1981 and added a drop of AK thinner, it mixed perfectly. Next I mixed a drop of AK Real Color OD with a drop of Mr.Hobby IDF Grey, that also mixed perfectly . It also lightened the Olive Drab enough for what I wanted, so out came the AB and on with the lightened colour . Here you can see the difference better, the inside and out of the road wheels. Next will be some fun with the camnet

Boots, Steve, Ian, cheers indeed for the kind praise chaps . Okay I think I have done with the netting now, I'll check again tomorrow because it's easy to become blind to what might be missing or not . As always ACACW
