Nice progres - you are faster than me!

I am still curious how you can paint it after completion - I am scared of camouflage painting even now, when I have some underpaint on mine - that body is so complicated!


Ha ha that's the old modelers school.

Thanks Scott,
I today finishing build tractor. It is strange to me that with so many parts, none left. All I used.
Model over minor mistakes, this is the best I've ever built.

Miloslav has a special paint dipping tank. You carefully lower the built kit and the paint just adheres' to the proper parts staying away from any clear pieces. Then its into a drying booth. During the drying process the final weathering starts to bleed thru the paint and Voila! A totally painted and weathered model in less than a minute

cheers
You hit the nail! I´ll have to invent some like this too

I found one major mistake, though aside from a bad pattern tires. Tractor has a bad angle of the dashboard. This is the detailing model admirable.
