I like it so far. But where is that third shade of grey? :hmm:

Thanks guys.

Carlos, you got me there. Its the correct BS colour useing Xtracolor, but the 2 lighter ones are really hard to tell apart, though on the real thing they do stand out more. Had i realised i would have added a touch of white to the first one as thats the lighter grey.

A final short update before i wrap this up. Got the GR.9 finished with a flory wash. I have gone for a rather grubby lok which i think match's the pics i found quite well. Stores were adde along with the canopy and other final bits. I used the decal for the Det cord on the canopy as i didn't have a PE set for this kit. I am not as keen on the decal as i am on the PE i used on the Shar.

Just got to add some RBF tags, fit it to the base and sort out a figure.

Most excellent, bish! Beautiful piece of work.
