Hi John. Just started on my M1151. I have a question: What colors are you using for interior and exterior. Thanks and good job so far.



For the interior I used Tamyia NATO Green and Khaki for the seats.

For the exterior I was trying Tamyia Desert Yellow XF-59 but it came a little too dark so I switched to Tamyia Buff XF-57

Maybe I added too many decals.. that's not my main concern at this time, the doors are.

I've primed the PE parts, next add all the small details, paint them separatly, add the clear parts and assemble the parts.

Slowed down on the doors, I wrongly painted some parts with a different colour so I had to start over.



Here's the other front door parts.
Interior door is painted NATO green and Semi-gloss black for the edge.
The clear part, interior window has a small handle with a fixing spot on the window that needs to be painted first before assembly. No paint guide on the Bronco sheet.

Then I'll assemble it and paint some spots that might need retouch.
Also need to add the rear view mirrors for both front doors.

Thanks Marco,

Update, Ammo box & smoke discharger(1 of 4)



I've made a mistake adding the Blast antenna, I didn't knew at the time I had to remove the spare tire mount on the bumper..
Also the antenna support is too thin to connect both wires.

Hi John!

Because of this I hate glasses and frames in the same piece.

Cheers!
