Thanks muchly chaps  . Last weekend the beast was primed, and today it received the base camo colour  This will get a complete camo scheme, my reasoning for this and not for going down the red primer road, is simple. If the resources to produce these tanks were there, then there was certainly enough cash around to paint them properly . I have used one of Tamiyas newer paints for the first coat, XF89 Dark Green 2. I found that it doesn't like being thinned with IPA as much as the older paints do. But hey, I got it on and that is all that matters  .   |

Primer looks sharp, Paul! Camo is a secret, eh? This the special Dunkelgelb-Mauve-Taupe Octopus scheme designed by Goering in '47?

I bet he is going for the stick of Scarborough rock look with green, yellow and brown stripes.
Am I right?

Chaps the camo is in place .    I have some clean up to do as the darned dot stickers I used were a tad aggressive. The glue attacked the base coat, even down to the putty cast texture  . Next, after touch-ups, will be shiny and stickers |
