Gunze’s Olive Drab 2 is a great shade for US armor. Good color call out Bruce!

Yes, rattle cans are mostly filled with pretty hot laquers. Due to their hotness they have a good bonding to styrene, so no primer's needed.portman wrote:Is this a Laquer spray? If so what sort of primer do you use?

Not a great deal to show but I've finished the hull. It's actually quite a lot of parts, but brilliant detail!
Not a huge tank - but pretty big. I'm wondering how the size compares to an M4 - I guess I'll have to get one and find out!

It's a pretty sweet kit - no issues at all thus far. If you ever fancy having a go at Amour Lyle I'd recommend it.

Re: Tamiya 1/35 M3 Stuart - US Light Tank
lol! Nah I'll give it a miss thanks - it's far more fun to watch you build it 
Actually it does look a bloody awful kit and I think you're doing a great job of knocking it into shape!

Thank you from the depths of my depth holder. I've always been fond of this a/c, so there is that.

I can see why - it's a great looking aircraft. Wasn't it what they used in 'The Sky King' before the 310?
