Grand work on those tracks Mence, and that colour is awesome Thank you. I dont have the exact colour match so went with the tried and tested 50/50 mix of Tamiya XF-49 khaki and XF-66 Light Grey. Will add a bit more light grey for post shading. |

Oh great Jeff, that helps....not. Getting IDF colours right is about as easy as herding cats, perhaps mud and dust are my best friends.... |

Chaps. A nasty case of Man Flu / Covid has afflicted me for the past two weeks so sticking has been on hold. We now have progress, upper and lower hulls are now best friends and paint is on.  Cheers! |

Hello chaps.
Not been posting as you're probably aware. Serious mojo issues re model building in general so trying to find the love at the moment.
This, like many of my builds is quietly gathering dust and I'm not sure when I might revisit it.
In the meantime I'm trying to find something, anything to rekindle my interest in the hobby but so far, I've been unsuccessful.
