Wanted to do this camo since I first saw it. This is a Hooben with Clark TK unit installed.

I have some spare Syrian decals left over from my Syrian Panzer IV if you're interested.

Thank You Ad. I use Decal Pro to make my own dry transfer decals. It can be used for any and everything. Color, two tone, you name it. Takes a bit of practice but once you get the hang of it you will never have to buy decals again.

Unique camouflage pattern, it looks great. Interesting about the dry-transfer decals too, I haven't heard about them before. The systems I've seen haven't let you do them in white, which kind of limits their utility for unit markings.

You've set an enviable standard there :thumbup: Among the many fine details, my eye was drawn in particular to the canvas barrel mantlet cover. That must have been tricky to fabricate :think: Well done..

I thought the cover came with the kit?
