Very Nice Jag Danny!

I want to build one some day when I get the courage to try the ambush paint job.

Nice build and excellent job on the camo... did you use an airbrush or paint it by hand (oops, just got a mental picture of trying to do the camo via fingerpaints) :-)

Hi Spiritseye,

Good looking build.

I have techniques that I apply to my AFVs but I'll stick with some specifics.

It looks like the muzzel is not open? The gun would look better hollowed out, or at least a dark steel dot of paint.

The driving light--paint the lens or paint a faux cover on it.

Do not be concerned about no airbrush, AFVs were as often hand painted as sprayed.

Keep up the good work!
