Progressing nicely my neighbour-bro. The wooden crates look very good and are adding interest to the green items. It's going to be so much fun whith the washes!

Thank you immensely comrades  . This evening I have added the second track run . But here is a word of warning about Friul tracks  . The new owners of Friul have definitely changed the castings on these things. These Sherman style tracks I have used before, on the Oddball Sherman. Those were older, I think I bought them in Belgium 2019. They were grand to work with then, but now they are a pain in the butt. Clean up is really tricky as there is flash all over the place, also the hole next to the square one needs drilling out otherwise the connection to the next link will not fit. Also the end connectors have casting failures, about 10% of them the connecting pins are way too short  . So with that out of the way I moved onto the RZ stowage bags on the turret . With a lot of careful masking I was able to spray the base colours . I used Tamiya for this, the base colour is XF -49 Khaki. To this I added XF-22 RLM Grey for two bags and XF-67 for the other two . When this fully cured, I'll start getting the shadows going down.       |

Your olive drab looks so good Paul. The tracks ditto, however thanks for the warning, I won't buy them as they cost too much for the quality you get.

That stowage looks phenomenal! Interesting twist with their tracks, now. Glad you battled through their issues.
