Thanks for the comments :-D

Hi all,
Another update, primer on, its Vallejo Surface Primer IDF Israeli Sand Grey 61-73 (73.614) applied with an airbrush:

A wee bit of pre-shading, usually I use black but for some reason I have decided to use Tamiya X-9 Brown:

Another brew and maybe get the first camouflage colour on :grin:

Morning, Chris. That pre-shading looks to have been very effective. I'm not a big fan of the technique on aircraf but it does seem to suit armour.
Crack on!

Hi all,
Next update :grin: the green camouflage has been added using Vallejo Model Air Panzer Olive Green (71.096) free hand using an Iwata Neo:

I drew the camouflage pattern on faintly with a pencil, which made it much easier to do :-D

Stay tuned, more soon 8-)

I prefer Absolute '80s myself. Perfect for when I do the ironing!
