Bstarr3 Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 This is my first ever armor build. I have done only WWII era planes up to now (and one WWI biplane that I botched beyond mentioning). I got this kit just to see how I liked it and I must say I enjoyed it quite a bit! It was a tremendously straight forward kit - not a single build problem at all. Painted in Mission Models olive drab FS34088 (they make about 6 shades of US olive drab). Aside from a little postshading, weathering is all with oils. As this is my first attempt at this type of kit, I would very much like to hear some constructive criticism. I feel that I have over weathered a bit, but that's a constant concern coming from aircraft. I did plan on doing the tank commander figure that comes with the kit, but he had a little misadventure, and I'm waiting for a replacement part to come from Tamiya in order to finish that portion. Thanks for looking! K5IKL and Gazzas 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K5IKL Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 Very nice. How do you like the Mission Model paints? Our LHS just started carrying them and since Rustoleum is starting to dump the the Testors line I may have to start trying acrylics. Cheers, Jerry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They spray beautifully and last a long time. Although their color selection isn't as wide as some, they cover most subjects and their color match seems to be good.
