Brother Pouch:
Please give us a run down on the colors used, and your methods for painting/weathering/dry brushing this vehicle.
The cross bar over the driver compartment truly looks worn, & the dash/driver's compartment looks good! I'm assuming the dash instruments are decals?
Fill us in on this build pal, (unless we have to wait for the article :-) )
ps: Jeeze Loweeze---- once you figured out how to post pics---you're all over the place LOL.

Thank you for all your comments. This DUKW is painted in Humbrol enamels. Yet to do is highlighting with pastels. most of the rust stains etc were drybrushed using Humbrol # 98 which is a very dark chocolate brown. The OD #66 was lightened with cream and darkened with dark grey rather then straight black and white.
The dash instruments are decals included with the eduard PE set and yes the 'boom' is scratchbuilt
thanks again

Cliff, it's hard to provide comments when one's standing with his mouth hanging open in awe. There's a conversion that should be on the market.
