The build is done, well it is a 1/48 Tamiya after all. I’ll be advancing with General Paulus and his sixth army before you know it. Stowage by REDZEBRA. Done the tracks differently this time, as you can see, and worn the rubber well down on the wheels. Something I’ve seen uncle night shift do.

Typical Tamiya Tommy that is, great assembly in the shortest time frame . The stowage looks very cool indeed

Thanks Paul, Ian, PorcoRosso and Boots. Added a bit more stowage, going for a Gypsy caravan image.
It’s all been coated in Mr surfacer mahogany.

Nice build. And when I saw the running gear like that I immediately had to think of Uncle Night Shift indeed Looking forward to the paintwork!

Thanks snipersmudge and armorguy. Now, taking a gamble here, which may pay off. Or, it may not. Painted in dark green first Then I used Tamiya flexible masking tape 2mm. Which is too thick for my purposes, so I used a sharp blade and sliced strips through the middle, but jaggedly. These I stuck on and I have now coated in a semi-gloss. Tomorrow I will spray with dark yellow and then hopefully the big reveal....
