Nice hydraulic work and the weathering of the interior looks fantastic.

Looks really good. Nice job.

Thanks guys

Speaking about paint….

What is your go to color for that very dark, vietnam era olive drab?

For my last built i mixed it myself with black and yellow.

But curious about you favorites…

I like to start with Tamiya Olive Drab, then add some black to that.

HeavyArty · November 17, 2025, 5:28pm

I like to use Tamiya TS-5 Olive Drab, which represents the darker post-WWII OD Green well.

Gino, is that Deuce and a Half build based off of the old Monogram M34?

HeavyArty · November 17, 2025, 6:07pm

Sort of. It is the Monogram M34 bed with the rest being modified AFV Club M35 parts.

Has there been a comparison done by some brave soul, between the PSM and Hobby Link M578 kits?

Ownstuff · January 28, 2026, 3:15pm

I made my choice for the .50cal

This M2 Browning is by 3D MicroCosmos. A greek company. This is my first order of them and i really dig the details. Here are some pics of it

3D MicroCosmos is friggin’ outstanding. Their prints are super detailed and smooth. I’ve gotten a lot of items from them, all top quality and detail.

Before I start priming the cab, I try to figure out where the right foot of the second crew member will rest. I think i go with a little ammo rack
