    Hi Pete,
    Nice sets there :thumb2:,I have their Italian set and they do look excellent.
    I`m almost exclusively a Vallejo man normally,(With a few small exceptions),but seeing these "Life Colour" paints called out for in most instructions,i thought i`d try some for the two Italian AFVs i have.I`d be interested to hear your thoughts on them?!

            Hi Andy I to mostly use Vallejo paints, I hand paint but will let you know how I get on, their rust set is a good one if you haven't got it.

                  Third one recommending the rust set here……it’s excellent, especially if you tint the results with dark blue to get heat staining…….not tried the wood one though, I just use VJ colours and make it up as I go along!

                            That would go nicely with the Policeman Dave mentioned on the internet spots page.

                              Sold as used & part assembled, but unfortunately quite badly assembled! No sign of filler, though, so iy may be recoverable.....................
