Didn't want this build to be boring so, as I had seen pictures of the Fuel Drums in different colours I thought .... Why Not!

I sprayed the inside of the hatches NATO Green with black padding and left some rough edges.

Fuel Drums, Jerry Cans and Cable Reel all fitted as well as the light guards.

 

Just in case any of you are wondering, I don't work on this every day as I have a few other projects on the bench along with this one.

 

Next Time:

CIP Panels, Extinguishers, Headlights

Commanders & Crew MG's

The ratchet strap detail really pops out on those fuel drums and the manner in which you've painted the hatches gives a great measure of authenticity in that area as well :thumbsup:

CIP's panels now added and a start made on kitting out the Crew19424282_808332012663598_799505112423067

It's all a bit convoluted due to the appauling heat (a modellers phrase when trying to paint).

Looks a bit rough doesn't it!

BUT, we're getting there

 

Next Time:

Not sure? Depends an awful lot on this heat

As SleeperService puts it ...... I've been drybrushing Glue!

And Airbrushing liquid powder!

Despite the issues caused by the heat and the heat itself, it looks like you are making excellent progress.

Kind regards,

10 minutes here, 10 minutes there and usually in the cool of stupid o'clock in the morning!

 

How's your Cromwell coming along?
