Wouts very much appreciated sir ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) . My pre-shades usually disappear when slap the paint on, but this time I restrained myself and I'm pleased with it too ![:D](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/grin.png) . Pete I used Mr Color TC19, IDF Gray 1981 Sinai. This is a lacquer paint which I wasn't expecting as the set was/is advertised as Acrylic on the web site I bought it from. As I had no lacquer thinner I had to revoke to using Revell Paint cleaner to thin it, and it worked ![:D](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/grin.png) . ![](https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1723/41466791775_053b3523f2_c.jpg) Carl, many thanks to thee to ole chap ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) . Okay fellas after a day down the garden, with lots of beer, sausages and sun ![:D](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/grin.png) , I managed to get a highlighting on the beast and the running gear done too ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) . We might notice a slight tremor in the Space-time Continuum as I used Dunkelgelb shine and IDF sand 1973 to make the lighter tone I needed ![:D](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/grin.png) . ![](https://farm1.staticflickr.com/885/42320607562_52ce327a24_c.jpg) Here's where I am at now fellas ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/wink.png) . ![](https://farm1.staticflickr.com/874/42320520482_817cb80660_c.jpg) ![](https://farm1.staticflickr.com/893/41646293644_decd5b1118_c.jpg) ![](https://farm1.staticflickr.com/881/42369269581_d50b9eee62_c.jpg) More soon dudes ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) , I'm gonna another beer now ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/wink.png)

Pete, many thanks sire ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) and no prob for the info ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/wink.png) . Carl, I thought the tremor would be a good un ![:D](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/grin.png) . Cheers mushty ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) Ian, appreciated fella ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) . The tracks need a little more yet, just working out how to get at them best ![:D](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/grin.png) . Boots, if you approve then all is well mucker ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) . Marco, it's always a pleasure to please you sir ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/wink.png) . Okay lads here's todays doings. I have absolutely no proof that the heavy lifting eyes of the Merk were painted red ![O_o](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/browraise.png) , but I do know that this was practiced on Israeli vehicles. So I have taken a bit of artistic free licence and added red to them anyway ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/wink.png) , also the the towing shackles and spare tracks have been picked out in black, when exactly they started doing this I know not either ![:P](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/tongue.png) . But it does add a good colour break up to the vehicle ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) . The vision blocks I picked out in Revell Aqua transparent blue ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/wink.png) . ![](https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1735/42360792432_7035849721_c.jpg) ![](https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1733/41508056215_693e914e2a_c.jpg) ![](https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1738/27539904277_b6420d5f5a_c.jpg) More soon sires ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/wink.png)

Pete, don't worry it won't be Tammy Buff either ![:D](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/grin.png) . Boots, no mucker, this is Revell Aqua gloss ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/wink.png) . The only stuff from VMS I have is their matt coat ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) , and it will be used shortly ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/wink.png) . The Matt varnish from VMS is the closest thing to Testors Mattcote I have seen ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png)
