Kiwidave4 Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 Finally finished this after some drama with the painting and decals. It should have a base and some figures but I have really lost interest so a few quick pics and its in the display cabinet. Its the old Italeri kit scratch modified to mid-sixties RASC spec. A few of it prior to painting. The kit anchor bore little relationship to the real thing! And the finished item, painted with Humbrol enamels and home-made laser printed decals. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
