This is an afv kit I have repainted.First I stripped the old paint with brake clean which worked really well. I have been revisiting earlier builds to try and improve the paint and weathering effects.All and any comments welcome.
Original

redone








The base is still to be finnished

Vast improvement. I told you that brake cleaner works wonders.
I'm glad you stripped it. The demarcation between the colors in the former paint job would certainly have shown through. I like it much better now.
Now you might consider stripping your M109. It looks better as well, but you can still see where the chevron decal was on the side of the hull because it's a bit raised. It gives you a chance to trim off that housing as well.
