hi andy what do you think would be best color to paint the canopy, still few bits to do yet like doors / mg mount to go in back and some decals also i think the 1/18th figures are slightly to big for these trucks

Chris, vallejo do "canvas" colour ( no 314) in their panzer aces range which looks good funnily enough as canvas, I just shaded dark grey underneath for the creases etc and sprayed it on top. I used it on the canopy for the indiana truck.

Dunno mate, if its a DAK version the canopy is going to be pretty sunbleached and sand blasted so if anything I would lighten whichever colour you're going to use tbh.

Canopy up anybody?

I didn't take any pictures of the build itself, it didn't take long enough

.

All I used was a 3ft length of 1.5mm diameter piano wire, and a strip of thin saran wrap from a parcel I received recently

Not too sure about the colour of the canvas yet, but it was the best I had available to me at the time... O.O
