Hi guys,
Here are some more pictures of my Tamiya M3A1 Halftrack as usaul it is painted by hand.
But hopefully this will change soon. i still have to do a few touch ups on the and around the seat cushions.
Sorry about the quality of the photos.

Andy in my view the paintjob is ok and the pics quality too... Keep on going like this and you'll have a very nice model to display on your shelf!!!
Ciao

The top view is particulary revealing Andy---you are doing well here! I agree with Fabio on his remarks. Keep it up pal!

Wow - hand painting - I commend you on that venture. I did that for a while and I would not like to go back.
It looks very nice.
Can't really tell for sure because of the photo, it looks like there is a bit of overpain on the top side rail just between the back of the seat and the gun rack. Also on the bottom row of seat from left to right it looks like there is a bit of overpaint, also between 3 & 4. Nothing a touch of OD can't cure in a heart beat.

Excellent :-) I used to hand paint models...a long time ago. always came out ok, but you could see a lot of brush strokes. This is definately an exceptional piece of hand painting work.

I agree with the above comments. Nice work thus far Andy.
I built this kit a long time ago, and have since stripped it of it's old paint and have begun a rebuild of her. In a few years I should have it done.

Andy,

Well done for the half track! It looks like spray paint cause I don't see any stroke marks. I am doing the same truck too. Keep it up!

wow hand panited thats a nice job.
i been messing around with hand painting.
i hope to master it some day .
but its comeing a long nice.
and do u have any tips for me about hand painting

Thanks for the comments guys.
Tazz , Always clean your brush after you have used it because the longer you leave it to dry the harder it is to clean it the next time you want to use it . It always helps to paint with not a lot of paint on the brush and only paint one way. good luck!!!

Andy,

This is good solid build and paint work, I like the job very much, I cannot wait to see it get all finished. Your skill has improved nicely. Good job.

comeing along nicely Andy. You sure you have not got that AB working yet? #:-)

No as the others have already said Andy that's a good job you have done there.

andy looks good mate what colour/brand is the Od your using look forward to see it finished :-)

Looking Good Andy!.... I wish I could handbrush more.. it always seems like I'm brushing away the paint!!!... must be cause I use Acrylics... oh well...

My OD paint is humbrols 155.
