Only a plane would see the markings . Maybe so friendlies wouldn't attack it ? I like the effect of the green over the white . Tones it down nicely Marco .  |

Thanks Carl!
About the marks, in the modern wars, they have that orange glow panels (pink in Somalia), but they only use it when the air space is totally under their control.

Obrigado meu amigo!
I'm a whelled vehicles builder, but when I saw the Mark V at IWM, I couldn't resist.
The kit is very good and easy to build. Lets see the wheathering now.

Marco, a lovely build.
Just to expand...3M Blue Painter's Tape is a masking tape for house painting. It's clean, low tack/easy remove, and very affordable. You can find it in your local home improvement stores. It works well for masking models...I use it alot and I haven't had any issues with messing up paint.

Looks amazing, Marco! The color contrast of the green with the red and white bands really is eye-catching. Great work as always.
Best wishes,
Ian

Ian, thanks a lot mate! I needed to make it looks a bit more dirty and abused. For that I used a kind of dark chocolate acrylic filter, some chipping and a very rusted exhaust system. Hope you like:      As you saw, I built and painted the tracks. Now, more weathering, finish the tracks and finish this project... ACC&?W |
