Hi All,
It has been too long since I posted anything in the RRB. Mainly because I didn't have an Airbrush.........But now I do. Here are some pictures of the first model painted with it.
All comments welcome.

Looking good mate
What about that Decal, did you rip it on purpose, or was it an accident?
now finish it!

Great job Andy! I am glad you finally got an AB again. Could you tell me what color you used to do the wood on the handles? Thanks Kevin

Thanks for the Comments guys,
Kevin, I used a mix of Humbrol 26 and a little Humbrol 24 for the wood. I am pleased with the way it turned out.

Chad, That decal broke when I applied it and I have left it like that and have also painted black over the stars.

Andy,I hope you are going to add the front tow pintle.This is the raison d'etre for it being a recovery vehicle.
You might want to shorten the legs on the rear tailight's brush guards.They usually were a bit closer to the lens housing.
Also,If you use the mortar,add the baseplate to the top of the glasis,and remove the travel lock hook that is there.
So far it looks like you have it all under control! (++) (++)

Thanks for the comments people,
Carl, How stupid am I leaving of the front Tow pintle. Thank you for pointing that out I will fix it on sometime this week. I have decided to leave the mortar off on this one.
