I don't need a rack to store the paint spray cans because these get exhausted almost always during a paint session hahahaha!
They have a bunch of images if you Google it...thing is most are very low resolution...and most you can't read the print

Finally touched up the brown and gloss coated the turret. Also painted the wheels and metal idlers and gloss coated as well. Flat coat will be after everything is done.
Here are comparison shots of the two NATO buddies:
The Leo2 is a hangar queen and needs repairs (read: new lower hull because I damaged it) hence it's dusty.

looking good Atc . Nice to see to see the hulls together if only for the picture. Looks like other then finishing bits and pieces your close to finished with the exterior.

Thanks guys.
Scalawag: the corners are painted masking tape. Seems those are Velcro strips after looking at many CIP pix.
GG: Yep. The bumper codes and a few chevrons and some numbers etc

Cool! I've never seen those photos. My clue was a field manual of a tractor that had sections on how to install and clean a CIP. Thanks!
