Thanks Gino!

Paintwork continued today, with the Dark green camo...

1st some masking with Blue-tac... 1st time I do this kind of blue-tacking.... perhaps a little bit too thick "worms"... but ja, it worked...

Then a layer of Dark green..
I had to keep the instruction sheet very close by, not to fill in mistake the wrong "bucket"... :-)

Image

I was a little bit nervous to remove the big thick pile of blue-tac on top of the pit...
But it popped off after all very easy, without dragging with it half to the things in the pit...

Let's see what next!

Good work Kari
Finland is actually not a NATO member. But it is a lovely paint scheme none the less and very well executed.
