I have painted the chassis today in his base colors. Next step is applying washes for blending the colors a Little more. I must confest, painting this is slightly different then 1/25 or 1/35 what I normally build Ron   |

I have done some work on the engine the last day`s I`m thinking to replaced the oil caps and spark plugs, I`m not happy with those items the oil caps are to big for my taste Ron The Netherlands     |

Today I have spend a few hours painting the body, and I must say its big, normally I paint 1/24 or 1/35 models  I try to explain what I have done, The base color Matt black  After that, I a few thin layers with a mix of brown and red. Then I this mix lighter with some red and spraying some lines, after that I added some flesh color to the same mix and repeat theabove steps.  Wheb that is done I take the first browm with red mic and spraying some verry thinlayers on the stripes to blend those stripes together for a more uniform look.  After that I painted some left overs from the original base color, in this case green.  Now we have a nice base for fthe washes, filters paintchips and some more stuff. And some pic`s on how its going to look :eek:    Ron |
