Looking nice Paul and the grab handles clean-up. The first time I saw them done like that I thought, why didn’t I think of that!

Thank you all kindly chaps  . Jase, the light bulb on clicked on about year ago regarding the grab handles  . Till then I tortured myself, as we all do, trying to hold the stupid things with tweezers and cleaning them that way  |

Your details look far better than the etched parts.
PE has its place but its very flat looking sometimes.
I'd be tempted to go for a what-if for this one.
How about an IDF or South African version?

Cheers Steve . And yes, I have another planned for next year. It'll be an IDF version with twin 105's, 50's over the barrels, FN Mags on the hatches and naturally a mortar thrown in for good measure  |

Sounds like it’s going to be a Prime day for you , Paul. I assume you’re priming your Dragonfly as well. |

Very nice stuff Mr B.
Rather strangely I don't have this one in the stash😔, and given my more recent purchases/preorders I wouldn't get away with adding it for a while.
But... if any of you lovely gentlemen had one you were looking to offload it would be downright curlish, if not rude of me to decline 🤫

Chaps I finally got some bench time in today . The VT has colour . I have yet again changed my mind and moved away from the Revell Nato Olive. I decided to use Vallejo Model Color Bronze Green (70.897). I added a good shot of Gloss Medium to the this as well as thinner and flow improver. Then I added some Vallejo Portland Stone (71.288) to the Bronze Green and went back over the vehicle adding a slight fade .   More soon dudes |

It's unbelievable what the colour and shade of a background can do to the colours of a model.
I'm pretty confident that your colouring looks just the way you have it your mind brotha P.
