Sorry Bruce I would if the Howitzer wasn't already finished. Just put a flat coat on it today. I'll get photos up tomorrow. In the end the instructions had 13 miss marked parts. It's a Dragon kit after all. I'm going to concentrate more on how I build a diorama on this one.

Here's a few photos I just got done with a pin wash to start the weathering, I need to go back in with some clean enamel thinner and get a few tide marks and places I don't like. The photos never lie and really help me a lot in this stage showing what I need to fix.

I see a place in the second photo on the tire that needs fixed and then repainted. I thought that would show up on the bottom so didn't worry about hitting that seam. It's what I get for trying to cut corners. It's not glued in place yet just being held on with some bluetac so will be a easy fix.

Thanks for looking in!

Clint, looks pretty good to me, but you have to be happy with it. Then again, I only have one eye that works.....just sayin.
To make each build less crappy than the last one. Or, put another way, "Better than the last one, not as good as the next one!"..
