Well after seeing your cracking camo ive gone and ordered some for my build so many thans and great work

Not a massive amount of progress this week as I have been trying to work out a way of figure painting that will be just about good enough but repeatable. however, that is for another thread.
For now, the camo has had a oil dot filter to soften it slightly and then, after leaving most of the week to dry off, another coat of varnish ready for the minor decals and a touch of detail painting. It will then get a bit more weathering on the outside prior to basing it up (if I can get the two GIs good enough).
Most significantly, the UHU now is sat firmly on its wheels. Have had issues gluing the tracks though. It says to use 'instant' glue which I assume is to mean CA. However, after three attempts the CA did not even come close to sticking them. In desperation, I tried using Tamiya White Cap and it appears to have stuck. I will paint them up and try fitting them but if they break, it will be back to the drawing board.
But, for now, this is how she looks.

Thanks Monica, still a fair way to go on this one but I am fairly happy with it so far
. Picked up a picture frame for the base today so I will soon be starting on a basic diorama hopefully with those two GI figures.

Wow, you're really nailing this one! The interior looks perfect, and that lamp is the nuts. Does this now complete your collection of 251s?
