4509davidb Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 Hi All, Here's the Academy Gulf War Warrior which I've marked up as a Cheshire Regiment UN vehicle in Bosnia using the excellent Star decals set. The kit is a challenge with no PE,clear parts or individual link tracks. Lots of release marks including one on the front face of all of the turret vision blocks. I don' t think its that accurate as a Gulf War example so this will be way off for detail fans. The mud was to try and disguise the poor rubber band tracks. I did find an ABER barrel which is a huge improvement over the kit one. Usual C&C Welcome. Regards David 26 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lawrence Tierney Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 That looks good. The blue background sets it off nicely Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bish Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 Thats a really nice job there, you got that nice and dirty just where it counts. The only issue i would ahve is that Star seems to have got the vehicle type wrong. 0B should be the company commanders vehiles and so should be a 511, but thats their error.

4509davidb Posted July 30, 2020 Author Share Posted July 30, 2020 Ah, I see re the OB markings. I take it 511 is the command version? you do get two other decal options - just liked the look of that one cheers David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are no kits on the market of a 511, only a conversion set. I have just finished building the same kit with the conversion. I have seen the Star decal sets, i know what you mean.
