I like to see if not too much trouble of course a dead-on head shot of the whole bradley, because last time in the rivet review, I pointed out the tracks are a little cantered outwards, like to see how ya corrected it. Looked real nice!

Pawel, I have only two complaints. First is that I saw it on Missing-Lynx first and here second,

and the other is that the pictures don't show the anti-skid surface at all. I thought the anti-skid was phenominal and the pictures don't do it justice. The whole model is just outstanding and I hope you get some pretty ribbons to show off for it.

Well, you will NOT see a dead-on head shot of my Bradley

The reason is that after trying to correct the track position, I realized that I superglued sprockets at a slight angle, instead of perfectly parallel to the hull and it is impossible to correct it now. This makes it very hard to set the track perfectly straight. It is temporarily possible, but flexibility of the vinyl causes them to return to slightly cantered postion with time... But as it is only (hardly) visible if you look at the model head-on, I decided to live with it. Nobody's perfect, right?

Best Regards,
Pawel

hehehe i thought you blamed that on the focal length... lol

I forgot to ask, Pawel, how did you mask the small details? Was it done with a stretchy tape or with Micro-Mask, because regular tape isn't working, it won't stay square.

You used MV Lenses for the headlights, which size lense did you use?

My second question is over in the In progress forum you should pictures of it right after you had washed it. What color did you use as a wash? It seemed to be very subtle and blended everything together very well.

I am almost finished with the lower hull but have run into problems locating pictures of the ODS driver's hatch and assembly. Have you run across any good pictures of it during your research?

For the camouflage application I used masks only to cover vision blocks made earlier (I used small rectangles of Tamiya tape) and lights (with liquid mask - Humbrol Maskol). To paint wheels/tires I also used masks made of Tamiya tape - I cut circles using Olfa Compass Cutter. Everything else "camo-wise" was painted "free-hand".
To paint various details (like canvas cover on TOW launcher or above the gun barrel), I also used pieces of Tamiya tape and liquid mask.
