The end is close. I need to add the MG. Unfortunately I don't have anything better than the kit one. I have a couple of MAG but would need an adaptor to put it on the RWS.
I'll try to add the cables to the antennas too.

It looks great. Nice finish.

What do you use to dilute clear colors ?

Thank you Alex.
To dilute the clear colors I usually use water or Tamiya thinner. For this model, I used Klir in which I poured a few drops of Clear green.

Today I applied the first layer of dust with pigments and some Tamiya Buff. I'll probably apply another one with different shades.

Looking great with added cables and dust ... probably add more dust ... much more dust ;-)

cheers

Will do Walter. I'm currently waiting for a decent M2 MG to come in the mail and I'll resume this build.

I'm calling this one done. I finally installed an old Verlinden M2 MG and some accessories on the right side "shelf". I also added some more pigments to enhance the dust effect.

Hi all

Enjoy the visit.
