Dads203 Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 The black really brings it together Ivan, nice work on a challenging kit mate. I had the problem with tip dry on the M113 using the Hataka orange line lacquer paints, added some Tamiya lacquer retarder and it helped but didn’t cure the issue. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ivan-o Posted April 27, 2020 Author Share Posted April 27, 2020 Hi guys I am calling this fight over! The build is done just a paint touch up,winch rope to go on and the Jerry cans in the back. To say I am relieved is an understatement, hopefully though it has turned out ok. Next time you see it it will be in RFI,thanks for all the comments and likes they really have kept me going on this build!at times it very nearly went in the bin. Would I do another one? Just say it’s back to plastic with pleasure Thanks, Ivan 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
