New to the site figured I would post my last couple of builds for you guys who don't know me. This is Dragons Bison II kit probably the nicest Dragon kit I have built.

All comments and questions are welcome thanks for looking.

Very nice! I really like that base and the trees. What colors did you use for the camo scheme?

Thank you. The colors are AK RAL8000 Gelbbraun and the RAL7008 is a Tamiya mix of 3:1 XF49 Khaki and XF 62 Olive Drab.

Ahhhhh... thanks for that info. Are those the AK Real Color Line or their line that comes on the squeeze dropper bottles like Vallejo? Just curious as to which and your thoughts on the AK paint. I’ve tried the AK Real Color paints and am looking for ideas from more folks who have used those.

They are the older Vallejo style bottles and I really didn't like them I think the paint was just old they are labeled as being airbrush ready but had to thin them a lot with Vallejo thinner. I had tried 91% isopropyl first and that turned everything into a gummy mess.

Nice Bison Clint. I’ve heard that Dragon kit can be a little tricky to build, yours looks excellent!

Thank you, their is a few spots you can get in trouble with this kit but as long as you test fit everything as you go and don't follow the flow of the instructions you'll be fine.

Sounds like a Dragon kit alright...

Never seen one of those build. I really like the vignette, figures and trees look ace. Weathering of the vehicle is spot on.
