Looking really good. Is it still in sub assemblies, like mine? Hi Tommy! First of all, thanks a lot mate! Yes it is. I have the upper hull and the gun mount and floor as separate parts. And, of course, idlers and sprocket wheels.

Well, lets go: I primed the M7 with AK Black Primer, after that, white (AMMO) and blue (VA) to start the marks over the hull. followed by a mask. After that, AMMO Olive Drab Base, starting pure and after that, some dabs of flesh color to add some modulation and AMMO Beige to camo. Gloss coat and decals (20 years old decals - guess: Silvering). Flat cover and we have this:     I want to fix the silvering problem using paint. We'll see the result. In many pics of Priest I saw, especially in Sicilia, they are full of stowage, so, I painted some resin and plastic bits to add to the final build. Don't know if I'll use everything, but I think so.  Hope you liked! ACC&?W

You can cover the silvering Marco, take your time and finish with another very thin matt varnish.
