stevej60 Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 (edited) Hi Folk's,it's been a good few month's since I attempted any non flying military subject and as my LMS has a 40% off Revell kit's I thought I would see what was on the shelf and as a lover of soft skins this one caught my eye.I had a good look around a British Army version at the Sunderland airshow and would have loved to do it in British colour's but there seems to be a lot of differences between the German version and our's anyway the NATO scheme should look good when done.At just over thirteen quid it's a lot of kit for the money.

Bullbasket Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 Yes, I see what you mean about the moulding. With careful painting and weathering, those tie downs will really pop out. John. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevej60 Posted September 29, 2017 Author Share Posted September 29, 2017 Hi folk's,well I'm moved into the loft room and set up for modelling but still got a bit too much kitchen related work to finish so week five without touching any kit's so popping in for some NATO green paint for this one I consoled myself with another purchase,not up to revell's usual standard it's Italeri's old molding but that's not a bad thing.should get some paint on the MAN in a day or two. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
