That paint looks excellent on there Stuart!!! 2010 is about the time frame that I got back into modeling as well. This time has been a lot more fun however due to the forums and all the stuff now available for scale modeling.

Thanks Joe - It's not too bad. I've got to start learning how to use that airbrush though.

Yeah it was quite an eye-opener when I first started - like, what the hell is resin and PE???? :whiteflag:

Yes, you see a difference for sure between these ones! What however hits more in your eye (in positive sense) is the pretty significant variance of the camo nuances between Humbrol and Hataka. Also giving my wotes to Hataka ( though being the last person to say which one is most correct )

I can see a definite improvement in your skills Stuart, but then in my opinion, you started good already. I personally love the darker shade of camouflage; it really appeals to me. You rock man!

Thanks Gents - that's really kind!

I've not forgotten this build - after finally (after two weeks!) getting the gun patch decals on (last time I'm doing that - next time its paint) I've managed to move it on. All the bits and bobs are on - just some touch ups and antenna wire to go.

Pics to follow!
