Thank you Tommy and Jeff. Tommy, I've got a couple more bits and pieces I want to start soon, that's why I want to get ahead with this one 🙂 I started painting some of the bits in olive drab, mainly the chassis and a few body parts. The wheels will be next, then I'll give them and the chassis a black wash before carrying on with the cabin.

Looking good Joe  . Which brand of OD did you use? Thank you Paul. The olive drab I used was Ammo mig. The colour in the photo looks a bit washed out.

Thank you Steve.  I weathered the chassis and the exhaust. It's now ready for the wheels which I'll put on in the next day or so.

Olive Drab is a bugger for that, it's like IDF Sinai Grey, depends on how the light falls on it  . I have read many a fight over this colour and also of course the IDF Grey, you really can't go wrong, just stick to what you think is correct.

The colour is fine in the plastic, I'm the culprit. I was to lazy to set the camera up, so I used my iPad. Sorry gents  Just looked at it again. That's what my dear old Nan would have called, S**t colour by moonlight.
