That urban camouflage is great !!! Did you brush paint each section? Although I have not had the courage to try it, I have been curious about brush painting camouflage. I have noticed that Vajello acrylics smooth out well after careful brush painting. :think:

Hello,
i did it with airbrush and AMMO of Mig A.MIG 7150 British Berlin Camouflage Colors 1988 Set.
the most time is taken by masking the model

Good morning Gentleman,
i hope here are Chieftain experts.
Have some questions about the details..
1. what color is the fire extinguisher - is there a close-up picture somewhere?
2. what color are the wire ropes?
would be great if someone could help me

I think it's safe to say the cable is picked out in one of the camouflage colours, out of many photos, it has been just the one colour, but not the darkest colour.
The below picture is the only example I've seen where the end of the cable looks a different colour. Or am I imagining it :think:
Maybe for yours it would be painted grey :think:

As for the fire extinguisher, it's highly possible that it was painted the same as its surrounding area. I haven't been able to spot one.

It would appear it is the same colour as where it's mounted.

You're welcome :wave:

I don't know if there are any other extinguishers elsewhere on the tank, but I'm guessing they'll be the same.
