There was I last night merrily about to paint my M16 with it's black cammo. BUT when I check my references I realise that the white stars on the side of the halftrack (which I'd spent 'ages' getting 'right' the night before) don't exist on the one I'm trying to model.
IRONY- (attention Alanis Morrisette)- I usually forget to apply decals until after at least one lot of weathering

Nevertheless, undeterred by historical accuracy or good taste, I decide to continue. I'm sure I can work around this- not as bad as gluing the cargo body of my M6 the wrong way round, is it?. We shall see.
Meanwhile, here for your amusement, shoddiness:



Right, I'm off to go and kick myself up the arse.
