I made some progress on the BTR-80A (finally

):

I applied some post shading using the Mission Models Green lightened with some yellow:

Then I hit the panel lines with some Tamiya Smoke and darkened up the various recesses as well:

And lastly I applied some Vallejo Gloss Varnish to get ready for the colorful Hungarian ISAF decals:

Thanks, guys! Well, I got the Star Decals applied today and they went on fine with no issues. They give you two options for Hungarian BTRs in Afghanistan so I picked the second option which uses the yellow lettering to lend a little more color. I will let these set up and them seal them and then it is washes and pigment time.
