The painting is now finished, and I'm pretty pleased with how it came out and I'm glad I invested in the Ammo and the AK paint sets. As usual, painted with my favourite Humbrol and Citadel brushes and my cheapo wet pallet.

Now it's on to gloss coat prior to decals. I'm going to try my new fangled sponge application method again, to try and avoid brush marks.

Cheers!

Thanks Gents, you're too kind as always! Apologies for the less than brilliant photos, I'm still having to use my Kindle as my camera gear is buried somewhere in the house.

Very nice! I bet that you’ll be done with yours before that I will be with mine. :wink:

Hopefully I'll get the prop together tomorrow and the last few bits and peices...
