Cheers, andromeda. Excellent weathering paints - I will try that.

Oh, I don't remember, canopy inside black or grey?

More excellent choices!

Alex: Well done, that little "thing" looks right at home in the grass!

G.H.: The preshading looks stellar! I've always had a soft spot for Skyhawks

Just a friendly reminder for everyone, don't forget to post your photos in the gallery:

Andromeda : excellent wortk on your skyhawk ! Very impressive !
It's good to see some little birds in this campaign too !

Best,

G, great work on the Skyhawk mate.

I should be able to get started this week,just waiting for the mantlet cover from Legend to arrive.

thank you everyone, I really appreciate it! this was my first 1/32 build for a plane, and to be totally honest, I'm totally hooked on the bigger scale!

To answer the question about the canopy, it really depends on the year and the model, some were black, some were painted to match the outside.

The next one I will do will be a early one, so the canopy should be black on the inside.

Thank you for letting me part of this build, I really appreciate it, and I had a blast building and watching everyone else's projects! When it comes to Vietnam, there are so many subjects, it's AWESOME!

My kit is done but I can't get the photos to the campaign thread. They are in my gallery. Any suggestions?

Frank,
Go to the gallery, then just treat it like your own and upload from your computer. Hope that makes sense.

Cheers Rob.

That is a wonderful build Marcin.

Beautifully painted

hell of a good job on that skyhawk!

Made some good progess here.The Legend Mantlet was a challenge for me.The cargo rack and suspension required some thought,but I'm in a good place with this one now,primed and ready for some paint.

This is a test. Here is a M113 that I built a while ago. if this works I will post my M706.

OK! Here's the big one! This is my build for trhe campaign, Hobby Boss M706. It's built straight out of the box. Painted with Testors enamels, weathered with washes and pastels. Hope it is up to the high standards that I have seen on this site. Thanks, Frank.

Looks really nice Frank! Nice subtle weathering, turned out well!

I got most of the assembly done and put down the basecoat

I have reached the paint and primer stage and have run into an issue I let the primer cure for 24 hours and painted first coat and it appears that something or some mixture has messed the plastic up in some Places. have tried to sand out and so far it s worked

Just started to build my entry, Academy 1/35 M113A1 APC.

My build is moving along,I did some weathering,I wanted to achieve a muddy/dusty look without over doing it.So I went heavy on the running gear and lower hull using Mig Vietnam Earth Pigments,but lightened it as I went up.I think I got the look I want.What do you think,does it need adjusting ? I still need to do the tracks,I also have a few pieces of stowage and a coule of figures.Thanks for looking.
