diablo rsv Posted January 23, 2021 Share Posted January 23, 2021 After a nasty bout of Covid I have finally managed to find the energy to get this one finished and photographed. This is the excellent Takom kit with just a few additional details. It was painted with the Ammo Mig Berlin brigade paint set and weathered with pigments and oils. A WIP can be found here. I would also like to thank John @Bullbasket for the very helpful photos and Dan @Dads203, Ivan @ivan-o and @Scimitar F1 for sharing their knowledge. Not forgetting the moody black background shots. Not wishing to bore you all with an overload of photos but a couple more with a grey back ground. Hopefully that isn't too many photos but the different backgrounds do seem to bring out different details. All I have to do now is decide what to start next.

Buzby061 Posted January 23, 2021 Share Posted January 23, 2021 Fantastic work, I looked at that boxing but chickened out! Did the Mk 11 last year, it’s a great kit but a bit over-engineered in places. Pete 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bullbasket Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 Very glad to hear that you are on the mend Wayne, and glad to have been of help with the build info. It's an absolutely superb build, and the Berlin Brigade cammo scheme is first class. Is it Military Modelcraft that this is going to appear in, as there is a photo of it on the home page? Very nice work indeed. John. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has been a very rewarding subject to do, I really think you should get your one out of the stash, you would really enjoy it. Wayne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought that this was going to be in a magazine (and it should be), and when I looked at Mil.Modelcraft homepage, there is a dead ringer for your build on there. John.
