Gunze’s Olive Drab 2 is a great shade for US armor. Good color call out Bruce!

Yes, rattle cans are mostly filled with pretty hot laquers. Due to their
hotness they have a good bonding to styrene, so no primer's needed.

It's a pretty sweet kit - no issues at all thus far. If you ever fancy having a go at Amour Lyle I'd recommend it.

lol! Nah I'll give it a miss thanks - it's far more fun to watch you build it

Actually it does look a bloody awful kit and I think you're doing a great job of knocking it into shape!

Thank you from the depths of my depth holder. I've always been fond of this a/c, so there is that.

I can see why - it's a great looking aircraft. Wasn't it what they used in 'The Sky King' before the 310?
