M113 ADV (AIR DEFENCE VARIANT)

[phildagreek]

Going to call this one done.

A simple and quite quick build, kit bashing a couple of kits into one. There is a WIP for anyone who cares to look. There's mainly Tamiya and some Italeri but there is some Accurate Armour the commander is Meng and other bits out of the spares box. As ever she's brush painted using Humbrol enamels and finished with Winsor & Newton Galeria matt varnish. Just a little dirt on this one.

So I started off with this;

And ended up as this. Seen later in her days in a modified NATO camouflage as part of the OPFOR for various training exercises in the US.

Thanks for looking in. Here's hoping for some sun over the Bank Holiday.

Looking good Phil.  I like it much better in the NATO scheme than the humdrum sand color.

 

Take care,

It turned out great. A little TOO much sun this bank holiday, at least in Dorset. I'm roasting here, only just found the wit to take a fan out of the loft.

Lovely finish. The cammo looks great.
