Hi everyone!

I've started chipping and weathering this Guardian. I'm not totally satisfied with the left front door, so I'm thinking of leaving it with its tritonal camo.









Alex!

Don't hesitate having a look at my blog: http://alexbenvenuti.blogspot.fr/

Thanks!

I am finishing one too, it was a fun kit to build. the chipping looks great, but I have to wonder with it being such a new vehicle to the inventory, wouldn't it be painted sand at the factory instead of having to repaint them sand?

Hi and thanks for your replies!

I've wondered about it being desert over three-tone camouflage and I thought that some of these vehicles had desert sand camo as well as three-tone on some parts... So, I took the liberty to do it my way... I don't know if it's visible on the field...

Some updates:











Thanks for watching!
