looking good , dont forget they didnt have great paint jobs on the real items, they were often painted with brooms or rags in the field , and some of the colours came as a paste that was thinned with fuel/ water
all the best, ice

Just thought I would add these 3 pics. The painting is under way and as you can see it has been base coated in Tamiya XF-60 in preparation for its Normandy camo scheme. Many thanks to Ozs tutorial on air brushing/ weathering for giving me assistance on this. Here is the link to his thread.  http://www.rctankwarfare.com/Forums/index.php/topic,2429.0.html
