not sure it was used at Normandy.

Probably more Sherman's as there were Stuart's but according to this: http://tank-photographs.s3-website-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/normandy-tank-museum-catz-m3a1-stuart-light-tank.html the Stuart's were there.

nice looking truck........nicely done!    about the finish.......I think it's different ratios of thinner used in the camo colors.   your lighter green likely got a higher ratio,  since the sheen factor is less than the darker green.  it would lend a more 'dead pan' sheen........I do it a lot with flat black,  especially if I have to paint tires {hate it when it's a car kit}.

On the truck bed, I used Tamiya olive drab and added 25% flat white. For the truck cab, I used Tamiya olive drab but added 33% flat white. For the darker green camo color, I used Tamiya field green. All the color paint is mixed 40% paint, 60% reducer. The chassis and radiator shroud is painted Tamiya olive drab. Over top all the paint is Mr. Color semi gloss clear, mixed at 30% clear to 70% reducer. So any observed difference in sheen is the actual paint pigment underneath the semi gloss clear coat. For some reason, I have found that clear coat takes more reducer to have it lay down smoothly. Without that extra reducer, it comes out pebbly and orange peel. That's because the paint is drying before it hits the model. With the extra reducer, it dries on the model. Oh and by the way, the reducer is Mr Hobby 400 Leveling Thinner. It has a retarder that allows extra time for the paint to dry and level itself out.

Lol, yes, I can't be still. It's (modeling) a nice break away from the yard work and other chores done in the heat. Spring has sprung here in Florida, and it's hot as heck already. Weird thing is, my pool is still a little too chilly but I get in it every day anyway. It's another nice break from the heat.

Yea and another year that we may have an early tropical system probably won't amount to much but an omen and predictions look tough so far.The word a cut-off low enters the GOM viva Texas in a few days another thing to watch.
