Ian shouldn't the vision blocks.......  . When I paint those pesky little buggers, I add a strip of masking tape to the area directly below them, that way you can be sure not to get any paint on the tanks camo colour  |

Remember Paul I have to do things left handed so trying to paint them is a no go for me. I have a plan of my own making if it works it’ll be a good one

Just put some oil dots on the Chally, never done this before so you will see it when it dries, doesn't look a lot different to me

Oil dotting can be a long process Ian, don't worry if the first lot blends in too much. You can always go back over and add more once the first batch has dried |

I can hardly see anything but the flash has made it look well washed out, I'll try another pic in daylight, see if that looks better I only used three light coloured oils as I want a dusty desert vehicle  |
