That is looking Superb you have both those colours bang on right - AP 507B Admiralty Medium Grey (RN 02) & AP 507C Admiralty Light Grey (RN 03) and the armour looks perfect through the paintwork - you really are doing a fine job of the Ole Lady. OC. -
Alas No, if I need to spray it has to be with Tamiya rattle cans and that means one thing - outdoors dictated by the weather. OC.

Fast and low in an F4 that would be a sight. OC.

Or from behind a building. OC.

I am liking that Alot mate - the shading is going to look fab - so wish I had been able to spray mine. OC.

Indeed Lou, this one is designed to be used from inside the buttoned up turret using the sights inside, using both optical and thermal sights, but also used in a more manual use also. OC.
-
Thanks Ken, still got the sight and thermal sight to go on it yet before it can be painted/weathered. OC.

Evening all, today I started on some of the fiddly bits on the turret - first I made the counter measures table and associated aerials, then after this was painted underneath and legs - its was glued inplace, it will have the rest of it painted when the glue fully hardens, next I have started making the 7.62 Goalkeeper RCMG - this is made up from many parts and includes some quite difficult stages, its about a third finished. OC.

Sorry Mike - we crossed - didn't see you answer to Mark. OC.
-
I think thats the window Mark, didn't they used to have a half way hinged window in those? OC.
-
Dont know if this might help - it looks like it shows the different decks and frame point locations - perhaps like timber runs on a wood warship - perhaps they might go to alternative frames for strength. OC.

Evening all - Abit more progress with pics "Yeah" So - I had hand painted ontop of the rattle can finish and it took fine just had a few brush marks, so this afternoon I attacked some of the areas on both the turret and the hull with a cloth and basically buffed the surface, this smoothed out some of the brush marks - but yep created a slightly shiny surface (no issue there as the whole tank will be Flat Rattle can top coated last). I also fitted the main commanders site and painted it along with the inside of the hatch covers and did a few details. Next will be to work on the tracks (seperate links and guides) so they can be painted/weathered then fitted - then the side armour skirts can go on. Here are a couple of pics including letting commander "manny" mannering in on one of the pics - he likes the lime light. OC.

"Hey - thats the ticket" looking Nice........those should look Really nice under the camo, dont forget the squared raised peice of armour reinforcement at the top of the bow underneath the Fairleads - should come down about 8-9feet from the deck and be about 5/6feet wide. OC.
-
Coming along really niceley - yep that little boat is cute and looks nice and detailed, I'm loving your weathering - really authentic looking. OC.
