Thanks Paul and snipersmudge. After a varnish I used a very little bit of panel line black for the shadows. Once dried I put on some Tamiya figure accent colour to lessen the contrast. What do you think? ![](https://i.ibb.co/ypxvqHG/5-B41-D517-B979-4485-B507-2-DD42-D04-AF85.jpg)
Looks good, does it not?

Thanks Ian. Finished off my next chap to go with the recoilless gun and motorbike. Not bothering with the dispatch rider, though. I made the map case out of the supplied map in the kit (barely legible as it was) and some masking tape, folded over, varnished and painted. Not too shabby!!!! ![](https://i.ibb.co/0CXYN4P/AD6-DFAC4-9-FD3-4-ADA-A975-F79140-C65791.jpg) ![](https://i.ibb.co/M6KdRtk/BB3635-B0-6-ECE-43-A9-9-B4-B-3-F98-BA41-B3-F0.jpg)

My next 3 guys coming down the line are 1/48 zero pilot and officer and driver from the Kurogane. Despite the age of the zero kit, the figure is of A good quality but you can easily compare the difference between the old and new kits. mixed khaki and buff at 2:1 ratio for the Japanese uniforms and then dry brushed with buff. The officer looks very resplendent. Will give a Matt coat and then a touch more depth to the uniforms and they should be done, ![](https://i.ibb.co/mT6Ky08/AB22941-E-8-E40-4-D25-958-A-8-D04-E9-A47840.jpg)

I saw a similar tip to this on YouTube for when you have gaps between joints. ![](https://i.ibb.co/T8CJzRg/A7-BDE91-E-417-D-4856-A265-BC7-A743969-A0.jpg) Use a blade and scrape away some thin strands from the sprue. ![](https://i.ibb.co/qD9FCYp/ED568414-5-B75-4-C66-AB62-D9-E11522878-E.jpg) Then use your cement brush to pick up the strands and place them in the gap. The glue melts the strands in place. Once dry you just need a quick sanding and you have filled the gap. ![](https://i.ibb.co/xhqKk9Q/4100-AB4-F-35-CF-4-F78-8-FBD-FD632-DE161-B9.jpg)
