Thanks Chris and Jason,

I used Graeme's colours for the camo. Colours are all Tamiya; NATO Black, Field Grey, and mix of Olive Drab and Dark yellow, approx 2:1.

Found in this thread Centurion Twin Forty SPAAG

As these vehicles were magnesium/aluminium alloy, rust effects do not really apply. I will have to get a little creative with the weathering.

It looks great as is, but you could flake some paint off of the sand skirts. I've seen alot of 113's with paint missing from the mid section since it's just harden rubber.

Keep up the good work

Outstanding work there Rick I like how the paint job turned out, simple, but not overdune with weathering. What did you use for the camo netting?

Thanks! When I get home I will be better able to take quality pics.

For the netting I used a stretchy bandage, white glue mixed with water and a dash of Basil leaves

Cool couldn't tell if you used the home made method or the premade ones from echelon. By the way do you know if the lynx that were used in cyprus used the early 113 tracks or the newer style? I'm looking at getting one once I get my tax return.

I believe they had both. The early Lynx had the US style track and it wasn't until the late 70's that the Diehl tracks were installed.
