Yesterday was our monthly AZ AMPS build & bull meeting. This month I decided to have a go at this kit for a comparative quick project
This kit is pretty much a scaled down version of their 1/35 kit of the same subject and quite beautifully detailed. After 3 hours work, I was about 85% done until I start painting
chassis & suspension
main body
hood and “turtleback” body top plus body & chassis
and all test fitted together
hopefully this week I can get the base colors on or by next weekend at the latest…
Today I was finally able to get in some bench time and an airbrush session using the new AK Real Color NATO colors for the chassis and body base color. They definitely have a faded/scale effect look compared to Tamiya or Revell versions of the same colors
Later in the week I hope to get the rest of the camo colors on….
OK, I’m calling this one finished! Paints are AK Real Colors and weathering is AK pigments. A really great kit for recharging your modeling mojo batteries
Thanks for looking… comments and critiques are welcome
Thanks guys! Now if I can get decent results on skin tones on 1/48 figures… I will say that there is no way that I was going to try to do the six color “Chocolate Chip” desert cammies in that small of a scale…
