Are you going for one of these funky paint jobs Boots? Have you got decals to do one of these?
I've probably missed this bit

Been a bit pre-occupied with some outstanding jobs around the house which have required my undivided attention........got a few out the way last weeend so today i decided to crack on with the Scammell. I gave the whole chassis a pass with some ModelAir black and then some red brown.......trust me this is a pig to paint because everything is in situ......i wouldn`t normally paint this way but being a lot of scratch work involved i`ve had to build a lot in situ purely for fit wise.......had it had been kit parts i would have done it in build stages other-wise! The chassis has received it`s first coat of paint, Red is the dominant colour on this but other colours will evolve as the build progresses.....the tyres and wheels have been started as has the front grill, this was a mare to do and i ended up using a hairy stick here and there..........if i got white on the red....or red on the white once i must have done it a dozen times but got there in the end. These are just basic colours i need to start with and will be adjusted accordingly ......and i have left the fuel tank for a reason, wanna try somat out.
Rear deck hides a lot of it so don`t have too much to worry about under there
Whilst i was doing the base coat of black/red brown on the chassis i also used it on the crane..
I`ll let this dry a couple of days before i start toning it down, i will also make a start on the `donk`.........i`ll have to brush paint i reckon coz i ain`t gonna try and mask it!!
Still lots to do but plodding along alongside the Bergepanzer

Red is one of the worst colours to spray, but you have certainly got it sorted Boots-meister
