Aren't airbrushes wonderful? I've had one for close to 30 years now and still haven't mastered it. Paint consistency is my biggest problem. Anyway. Nice looking Bradley, you might want to go back and repaint your roadwheels. When you airbushed you painted the rubber rims. We never did that something about the paint affecting the rubber (real life)

Can you tell us something about this build please? I'd like to build one and would be interested in who made the kit, any issues with it, good points, problems, etc? Thanks.
Looks good.

Nice Work!
Great First Entry! Great first time with an airbrush and first time TRYING! This is a great hobby, one that you can never know everything about, so it is one that will never get boring- you will always be learning!
A suggestion...get some reference books, Verlinden, Squadron Signal or take a look at Rob's Motorpool and STUDY thie pictures. Take note of colors, what is camo, what is not and so on!
I'm jealous...you've finished yours and I'm working to get my CW Cookoff done in time for the original deadline.
GREAT JOB!
Jim

looks good, I'm trying to get my IDF M113 fitter ready ... the Guerillia GAZ 66 won't be completed in time I found out there is still to much to corect and to scratchbuil not to forget the painting and making the pland sandbags.
Anyway I think I won't disapoint you whit my Fitter I'm finishing it off.
Only problem is that I have no digital camera that can pick up the details so got to ask a friend to take it from his work
... What we do for our models...

I think you may need to check your references. I feel that the leaves on your tree may be just a touch large for 1/35. No, seriously, great build.

Cold War Cook Off is a Campaign...
A Campaign is (and I quote):
"Welcome to Campaign Headquarters!
From this location you can keep track of all the available group builds currently going on with our members. We have used the term campaign, rather than group build, because we want to encourage users both to start and finish their group projects. To further encourage this each user who completes a campaign will recieve a campaign ribbon. Each ribbon is unique and will display on your profile page and up to five will appear with your other rank/user info in the forums. If you are interested in starting a Campaign please read the Guidelines for Starting Campaigns."
For more info see-
https://armorama.kitmaker.net/modules.php?op=modload&name=Campaigns&file=index
OK...so that's what the Cold War Cook Off is; A Campaign. It's a good way to "meet" other modelers, work towards a goal wih a group of modelers with similar interests, etc.
For more details on the Coold War Cook Off see:
https://armorama.kitmaker.net/modules.php?op=modload&name=Campaigns&file=index&req=showcontent&id=11
All in all it is a good time!
