Hey all, been awhile since i've posted or completed any kits for that matter. Just finished up this today, painted in Humbrol enamels. First attempt on drybrushing to raise the details, I think i was a little heavy handed.

Drybrushing done with buff titanium oil paint & did a wash with raw umber oil paint. Added a little mig pigments(Gulf war sand colour) to simulate a little sand & dirt on the vehicle.

In addition, I also used a pencil to rub some of the edges to simulate wear & tear to the paint and the bare metal becoming exposed.

Looking for more pointers to see how else I can improve.

Looks pretty good to me.

You might want to replace the twin aerials on the turret with thinner material. I am considering this as I build my kit.

The aerials are far too great in diameter for the scale.

Thanks for the feedback. Now that you mention it, the antennas do seem a little thick for such a scale but I guess its too late for this build. I'll certainly keep this in mind for future builds.
