Hi all

Here's the kit we longed for for a very long time here in the norht, a 'stridsfordon 9040' or CV90 to the international market. Spring has finally arrived in sweden by now but my CV still recieved a snow camouflage. The kit is nice and the model will look sweet next to a Strv122.









See you later

Hi and thanks for the kind words all.

Stan - I used artists' oil colours (ivory black, burnt umber and raw sienna) with
white spirit as solvent. I just recently started experimenting with oil paints and I
regret I didn't tried it before. It's much easyer to get a nice result when you can
regret an over the top weathering that looked better than it really were. Just take
your time and build up different colourlayers one after another.
