Color won't be far off now. Looks great!

Well, you two do know what you like or don’t like when you see it

And thank you

Nice!!

Thanks Mike!

I made some more progress this morning...

I glued the tow cable into place on the upper left side of the hull, as was standard stowage position. I also added some grab/cargo rails on the turret side using music wire. That stuff sucks compares to brass wire, but Hobby Lobby doesn't care the .020 or .030 brass wire anymore....







and lastly I added some assorted front stowage based upon what you can see in this photo here





I just need to add some packs to the sides of the turret and this will be all ready for priming and painting...

Just caught up with this Carlos - very nicely done indeed and I'm looking forward to seeing it under paint.

Thanks Stuart. Now that a weekend of family stuff is behind me, I can get back on this project and get some paint applied.

Yesterday I added the final bits of stowage to the turret



and today was a coat of primer using Mig Ammo One Shot... I also bent the antenna mount to represent the antenna being tied down. I'll add a tie down coord after painting...



Monday I should be able to get a coat of OD applied...

Very impressive work Carlos

That's superb Carlos!

Chris & Stuart, thank you sirs.

And now, finally, some OD paint on the beast... first a coat of AK Real Color Olive Drab No.9 on the center areas... followed by a lighter misted on coat of Gunze Aqueous Olive Drab (2) to tone it down and blend it all... 1st and second stages









also over the weekend I started cobbling together a figure for the loaders hatch



This guy is an Italeri torso, Tamiya arms, and a Ultracst head.... more to come soon...
