Just got the third colour ti go on which will be a medium green , and I might put a thin black, or very dark green creeper through it as a bit of contrast. Then I will start the weathering/ pranged bodywork , as it will spend a lot of its time in holes dug into the ground, with rocks carving its paint up.

If it aint broke ,,fix it until it is .
Over kill is often very understated .
I know the voices in my head ain't real but they do come up with some great ideas.
Theres few of lifes problems that can't be solved with the proper application of a high explosive projectile .

Just fire a round derived from those Japanese AA rounds — the gun is big enough :)

In my Operation Saladin scenario, the insergents only have vehicles and not many of which are armoured either, although they have managed to get hold if some soviet mobile SAM units, which keep the Hunter and Bucccaneer "Miffed Meercats" busy firing AGM -45's at them. :wacko:

Just the road wheels to finish painting on this, then a coat of matt clear. Then to start scruffing it up. I built the FV 432 in 2 nights, and, yes and, I did most of the P.E. on it too, although some needs to come off and be done again. I might try sticking the headlamp guards with pva glue next time.

But you can keep all of that micro-armour modelling all to yourself! ;D

Saw a video clip of this on Facebook today. From World of Tanks, but they are trying to get the one at Bovington "cosmetically" restored and up and running. Interesting to see that gun for real. It's enormous  :o
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

I saw that video too Chris, it would be brilliant if they could do that as it is a unique piece of equipment.

I'm subscribed to the Mr Hewes channel and it's a good watch..he's young but damn he knows his tanks.
He's rebuilding a T-34/85 for a customer and it had engine problems..oh man did it ever ..a very large amount of damage.
A very entertaining channel to watch. :thumbsup:
