and today's work so far,
Working on M1134 Stowage & tools,
Tristar and Dragon Panzer IV Ausf.C, grey for Dragon, sand for Tristar.
Started the weathering on the M1134, trying these AK Paneliner for the first time.
Tip :: That tarp on the rear panel was made with remains of a latex glove, cut into some approximate dimensions, but when I added Tamyia Extra Thin glue it became very malleable, shrank a little but it was very easy to get the shape i wanted because of the glue changing the plastic shape / texture.
Cheers !!

Sweetness on all fronts,John.  That Typhoon is pulling me closer and closer to pulling the trigger. Got to finish the 10-70 first. |

Don't know if a Typhoon duel build would work,John. You'd be done before I even got the box open. |
