M47 Patton, 5th ID Germany, Patton Project Pt.2

All the F-15E's are gunship grey, and the C's are now agressor grey and F-15 dark grey.

The M47 looks sharp, Carlos!

Thanks John. It looks much better now in warpaint.

I thought that most of the A’s & C’s still around had gone the darker “Mod Eagle” scheme.

[jeaton01]

That is the Mod Eagle scheme, Carlos. Earlier scheme was with Air Superiority Blue. Mod Eagle is 36176 F-15 Dark Grey, and 36251 Aggressor Grey, but the light and dark compass ghost grey scheme was an alternate, apparently. Here's the instructions from a Repliscale decal sheet.

All that casting detail and decals you added really paid off with the paint over them Carlos - well done!

[Medicman71]

It really looks great all painted up!

[Stikpusher]

Mike and Stuart, thank you. I need to deal with some detail item painting, then I can get the markings on and move on to the next stages.

[Stikpusher]

So yesterday was bit more work on the road to completion,

I painted the road wheel and return roller tires using Mission Models Rubber Black. Then I airbrushed on a coat of Future in preparation for decals



Then I had to give the tracks a test fit…



Decals coming soon…

[LyleW]

That’s real purty. She got any cousins?

[Stikpusher]

Yup… one more in the stash… and she’s French!

[Stikpusher]

And the decals are now on! Not that many, even if some are a bit large and gaudy.





These Star Decals are a bit thick and matt in finish. It’s taken a few doses of Solvaset to get the larger ones to conform to the texturing.
