I picked this kit up for about 12 bucks from Greatmodels.com. I thought it would be a perfect testbed for some finishing techniques I had never tried before.
Shots of construction. The kit went together well, with some filling needed on the roof. Also, not having much reference on the vehicle I cannot really comment on the accuracy.
The tires are odd as they seem to have a very sticky surface. Also, I've heard that they split over time. However, I did not want to spend much money at this time, so I stayed with them.
Here's some shots of the initial basecoat (Tamiya Desert Yellow and White), the mix being tweaked a bit here and there to add a little variation to the scheme.
I sprayed the green camo next using Tamiya Field Gray. The markings are completey fantasy and sprayed on using Tamiya paints and some stencils made of masking tape.
More in the next post!
