Not had much time to work on this recently, but managed to get some bits done on the wheels and tracks, a bit of pin wash on the wheels and some sandy weathering on the tracks. it's the first time I've ever done either and I'm fairly happy with how it came out. I intend adding some more weathering and pigment after everything's fitted to the hull.

Looking forward to seeing the paint job mateComment

Undercoat went on well, the turret in this colour reminds me of a batmobile.
I then added some pretty shading to the panels. Unfortunately the airbrush was a little "spitty" with the white, not sure why?

Looks OK to me Bob was it tamiya xf -2 by any chance ?Comment

It was Tamiya, but X2 rather than XF. I must have picked it up by mistake as all my other paints are XF.
I was careful to clean the A/B so maybe I didn't thin it enough?Si vis pacem, para bellum.Comment

Tamiya white is always a bugger to work with. But it's looking good & the patchiness won't be noticed - in fact it adds to the authenticity

Thanks for the advice about the white, I was worried I screwed up.
As you say Patrick, once the top coat goes on it shouldn't show up.Si vis pacem, para bellum.Comment
