didn't even notice them my first look. definitely used to seeing the swastika then some kind of unit markings and numbers. still looks great though.

What a waste of Marmite! its rarer than rocking horse do-do over here and I sure as hell am not putting it on any thing that is not going in my mouth afterwards!!!!I cant believe that Marmite is cheaper than liquid mask either.

What are the advantages of Marmite over liquid masking solution?

Hello Ian I know but over here it's cheap and there is more marmite than dog poo poo

Anyway I find marmite comes of easy with a little warm water and it's easy to apply I find with masking fluid it can pull at the model and if you've got delicate pieces it can pull them off

Here's to the brown stuff I salute you

Cracking work on the AFV John, the weathering and muck are very well done.

When the half track is put with this excellent mini diorama it will really show it off....

Cheers,

Ron
