AK Real Colors for both colors… the interior is their APC Interior Green… aka Sea Foam Green… very close to RAF Sky

Thanks Stuart. I’m working on the interior detail colors now. Gonna take a few sessions to finish that stuff up before I can get it all assembled.

Re: Dragon 1/35 M270 MLRS
Since my last update I’ve made progress on this project
I went thru my decals and found spares that would work as placards inside the cab. They are not accurate but the do give a decent rough approximation of that part of the interior



I also did detail painting on the fire control panel according to reference photos and added some decals to represent the gauges on the instrument panel, and completed detail painting on the overhead fixtures


I also painted up the radio boxes and other stuff on the cab rear wall, but without knowing what the actual gear looks like it was only a best guess scenario

Next I got the cab exterior sidewalls assembled… I left the top and dash area off so I can install the armored windshield glass

and I tinted the clear acetate that will be the armored glass with Tamiya Clear Green

Next I built the engine box area and some other sub assemblies and test fitted them onto the chassis





The next stage is to start construction of the launcher unit assembly… stay tuned for that…
