Nice build there Pete...! Was the camo brushed or sprayed, or combination of both...?
Cheers,

LT,
It was a combination of both, with the majority being airbrushed. I used a brush to make the edges of each color more defined and not so feathered.

Great job, Pete.
I was wondering, how do you deal with the clear vision blocks? Do you mask over the part that's supposed to be painted clear blue.. or do you just paint the whole thing with the rest of the vehicle and then paint the blue part.. maybe silver then clear blue over it?

Hisham,
I went ahead and painted over all the periscopes. I then painted the glass part silver and the I added Tamiya Clear Red over the silver.

I decided to go the masking route... I don't think I want to do that again
Here it is after giving it the first coat of green.. Got some closeups on my FB page.

Thank you, Jason.. I'm liking that Brennus, also! I guess they've been working on these kits for a while to have a bunch of them all lined to release.
Glad you like it, VAB75007... here is my

Maybe because of the settings.. I'll change the settings so anyone can see them.. I always thought that anyone can at least see the pics on any page
