I had the vehicle “before the lens” some years ago. Scratch building is no problem.

I began the turret assembly today. As for the CV9040C I replaced the PE tie-downs by electric wire. As visible on the pictures the turret is not the same shape as the CV9040C one especially at the back of it.

The turret is nearly complete. On the last series of pics the radar is not glued yet.
I had to paint 2 vision blocks (will mask them later) as they will be impossible to paint when the radar is in place.
The PE dust cover over the gun mantlet was a pain to shape.

It’s paint time!
The basic color is XF-67 NATO Green and the radar radome is painted XF-26 Deep Green. The radar is not glued yet.
Now I have to paint the scarce details before spraying some gloss varnish and applying the markings.

Yesterday I applied a coat of gloss varnish so today I can apply the decals. The orange rectangles on the side skirts are sprayed with templates as Hobby Boss have forgotten the decals unlike with the CV 9040C model.

I started the weathering with the old school techniques: oil dots, pinwash and drybrush, the whole being done with oils.

Hi all
I call this one done. I finished the weathering with some dust and dried earth made from liquid and dry pigments.
Here are the last pictures on this thread.

Nicely done Olivier- just the right amount of weathering- it allows the sharp, angular lines of the vehicle to be shown off!
