Oh wow!! I really like all the prep work you did on this one. All of these steps are really going to add up once it's all said and done. Glad you picked this one up again. :shoutout: :shoutout: :shoutout: :shoutout:

Thank you Joe. The long break on this one allowed my skills to improve to deal with the original fit problem and deal with them quickly this time. I sure am glad for that.

That's the exact same reason I left aviation modeling for a while. Just needed to sit back, watch and learn for a while.

Gloss coat of Future airbrushed on yesterday. Decals applied today. I did a bit of variation from the decal instructions adding a third set of tactical numbers to the turret rear and moving one of the ID roundels to the turret top.

And I’ve been working on my infantryman as well.

Mike and Clint, thank you. The campers make a certain amount of sense when you think of it being viewed from a similar level, and especially at a distance.

I added and cleaned up an oil wash on this over the weekend.
