Commanders .30 cal added.

Primed the hull outside today as the weather was great.

Should have a painted lower hull end of the week.

Like a. Model T Ford, any colour you like as long as it’s...........olive drab !!
I notice you paint the tools at the same time.
Do you find it’s easier to get their final look on the tank ?
Just wondering as I don’t think I’m good enough to pull that off is all.
How do you do yours ?
I like the up armoured version, looks much more robust

Thanks Herman :)

I have a steady hand and paint them on the tank as that was they stay glued to the plastic and not trying to glue to a painted surface.

The up armoured is more agressive looking, I do like the curves of the cast though!
