Liking the colour variation on the lens. Lovely attention to detail

it's the kit of AFV club lenses... super cool kit which gives the same look of the real thing..

Next time I do a modern AFV, I am definitely buying those lenses :thumb2:

they are really realistic and very easy to put... BUT i did not paint silver before putting them on the model... they look much better like this... with the silver paint in the back make them look.. well not like you see..

Just been catching up in this .
Great paint job and all the baggage is really going to set things off.

Hi Greg
I have missed a lot of this - sorry. Just had a most enjoyable catch up. Really top quality work. Love the paint job. Colour variation and chipping is excellent. Lenses are most effective. Baggage always looks good and is worth putting on.
Jim
Glad you're settled after the move. Being happy now makes all the stress worth while and your own modelling space is the icing on the cake :thumb2:

 

[BigGreg]

Greg, as Paul E would say, "crap in the back " you have managed to have crap all over.:thumb2::thumb2::thumb2::thumb2::thumb2:
Looks great.
Thanks for the bit of history, makes it far more interesting on a build like this
