So I manage to do some progress on the universal carrier I need to wait for my Iwata eclipse to arrive to start on the main base colour

[PaulAyrey]

So I manage to make some miracle on the airbrush and was able to spray my paint. I use XF-61 Dark green for the job but i cant get the proper lighting to show you. Can you guys give some suggestion to make it nicer like how to brighten the paint job and weathering the interior and etc. I'll be bringing this kit for a competition next month so hopefully I can beat those arrogant modellers that exist

[Coen]

Looks good bud. I take it that your new brush hasn't arrived yet then?

[EasyEight96]

The owner said he will only pass it on the month end so I have to bear with it

Update

I manage to give it some highlights but I'm not so sure it works as this is my first time doing it. So I took the photos using flash hopefully you guys can see it.

Todays update

I manage to airbrush the tracks metallic grey and both tracks snap while in the progress on putting it on so stapler to the rescue. Once that was settled I glued up the remaining bits. So now I have to weather the interior and paint up the guns , figures and etc. The rubber wheels were painted by using vallejo panzer aces new rubber

Been going on on this kit for a few weeks now it is coming near end yahooo.

Here are my progress so far.
Did the chipping on UC








Then... few days ago I decided to add this...






So last night I clear coated it , Decalled it , then clear it and today morning I gave it a wash, chipped the 6 pdr then repeat the same process.
So here's the both of em look like before weathering.














Btw i broke the mirror and shall be added last

[gustavlekstal]

Nice addition with the 6 pounder! Looks great

[Coen]

It looks excellent dude!
The 6 pnder is the perfect addition too. Well done so far.
