Well I did this old Tammy Land Rover about a year or so ago
never really been happy with the paint job I originally done ...
So I gave her a new coat of paint .. now I have to add some bits and bobs
Here is how she used to look





And here she is after being repainted ... still have loads of touching up to do
then I have to add more kit to her
I may even have to lower the back slightly

You might want to tone down the pink a bit.

These were used in the mid east desert and this is actually a quite effective camo color, especially at dawn and dusk.
