Good afternoon dearly beloved.
The painting has gone ok, but having seen a video on Utube this morning where multiple coloured primers were used I think I have some way to go.
All ways see these things too late, but here we are.
Just sprayed in green primer 4BO , al least it came out well , just a spot of Vallejo flow improver has stopped all the dry tip problems, just don't over do it .
Moving on I sprayed the top coat of 4BO , didn't bother with any high lights purley because of the impending Snow Camo. Steve this is the way forward , one colour.
Had some fun of course fitting those tracks, they were quite stiff from my enthusiastic gluing ! fitted them in the end, not spot on around the front or rear but half of it will not be seen.
Ending up like this.
Ok you can see the bottom join, no way was I going to be able to fit a piece of .4 mm wire at that distance, so glue it was.
Bit of a sag , but they didn't fall apart like they had in the painting stage, hence the use of the Ca.
The internal detail is pleasing, used the Brass shells I got, using the kit ones for empty cases.
Having had some advice from the forum earlier. thank you. I set too and did the snow camo.
One pot of snow camo .
used these brushes .
Wanted to show the brush marks , instead of a blanket cover. Don't know if to do any more, here are some more shots. please say what you think.I still have to wait for it to dry fully before applying a soft brush wetted to remove the camo from the unit markings.
Comments more than welcome, as I said should I do any more coats ?
