Selrach,

Hey, you have done an excellent job on the kit. Did you paint the camo pattern on? Keep it up.

El Diablo, your usual fine work is apparent again in this build. Lots of things for the eye to look at. Congrats.



ps: "El D"----did you try the new airbrush on this one, or is this one 100% brushed?

It looks good. The only rooms for improvement I can see are:
- the towing cable that looks far a lot less worn than the rest of the vehichle
- the dirt/mud separation is in my view too "sharp" I mean that it seems to and all at the same height on an ideal straight line

I love it! The weather is great and the camo superb. If I was you I would be as proud as a peacock!

Looking great El Diablo, again I agree with Lord WWH, fine example of your painting skills in both the vehicle and the crews. The muffler is really nicely done. Very nice.

I like it, in particular the way the camo colors looks faded out.
I would lighten/fade the tires on the spare roadwheels a little keeping in line with the fading on the rest of the vehicle.
Great work!

Sel.
I agree on weathering the spare wheels a bit more.
If you have an Airbrush,chose and thin your favorite "dirt/dust color",then spray it lightly from the top down,and spend longer on the lower areas,as you spray lower.

To be honest, one thing stands out to me is the dry brushing! Dry brushing over camo is almost impossible to get acceptable, never mind get perfect. All edges and seems are drybrushed with the base colour and this breaks up the camo design. The green and brown of the camo are brilliantly faded, which makes the edging stand out even more.
Maybe if 50% of this was returned to its original camo colour and 50% of the drybrush effect was left it would tie itself more together. Maybe a light wash/filter/stain, of the appropriate colour, over the drybrushed edges, so the effect is still there, but the greens and browns are connected might do something.
Another thing that comes to my mind as I write is that the green and brown are faded but the yellow still looks the same! Maybe its just the fotos. Maybe some scratches on the camo, showing the base colour and some scratches on the yellow showing rust/bare metal might help.
All this is "maybes"! Its hard to tell somebody what they should do or how it should look like. It all depends on what you want to portray... and its you that has to decide on what you think is right. If your happy ---- its right!! Maybe this is just some food for thought!!
I had to look at the pics closely to decide what "I" might do if I was in the same position. Id probably leave it alone and be ahppy enough with it. These comments in no way are meant to retract from the model you have built. I think you have made an excellent job here, but I was only throwing my 2 cents into the thread. All the best!!

The kit is well done, nicely built and well finished. I like it.

I have a question more about the uniforms, not a knock on the build at all. The uniforms look like winter uniforms - "would they have been used with that camo patter?" I just have not seen it - definitely does not mean it wasn't done.
