Thanks both.

The final coats of Tamiya Desert Yellow have been applied to tone down the pre-shading.

While I was at it, I scratched up an 'in field' luggage rack to take the luggage Tamiya supply. (it wouldn't look right just stuck on without any means of securing, as Tamiya would have the builder do.

I over sprayed the pre-shading with Tamiya Desert Yellow, did some chipping and applied the decals. Streaking will be next.

I also mocked up the luggage Tamiya supply and added some Jerry cans and a couple of drums. The whole will have an open weave cargo net over it when complete.

I did some subtle streaking using AK Interactive Streaking Grime for DAK Vehicles. Dust effect will be next.

Luggage, Jerrycans and Flimsies painted. Still need to do some work on the drums and maybe re-work the luggage.

Was there an glass in these? I have a few 1/72 made by my dad and no glass in them either. He was in north Africa and Italy in 44/45 and did not seem to worry no glass. Still not sure though very windy!

Great chipping and weathering makes it very realistic :thumb2:

Good looking build, nice weathering, and like the adhoc luggage rack. Looking forward to seeing more.
