Thanks guys. Here painted in green. Problem is the paint is chipping. Done repair jobs on it but should I clean slate and start again with a different primer? I used Mr Surfacer 1500 black. What does the panel think?

Keep on posting the steps if you can mate for the uneducated ppl like me on this modelling area. Looks good. Thanks. I always do jkb. Have a look at my talking figures thread. Page 25 has my basic method for faces.

Well, it seems the surfacer will do.
I should have let it cure for longer, probably. My impatience.

Thanks Boots. So I don’t touch it again. Mission models was the base colour and the yellow green was sprayed from above. The dark olive drab turned out to be the same as the mission models colour.

Nice colour there old chap. Glad the primer has settled down. I always let primer cure for at least 24 hours just to be sure no matter what primer I use.

Thanks PorcoRosso. Bit more clearer in this picture. aNot looking forward to the horses head on the badge or the name and rank insignia.
