Hi guy’s
here are some photo’s of my Caffee.
It’s Italerie’s OOB.
I used the French decals and I used Hubroll paints.
I used a light green for a faded look and used artists pigments for the dust.





Thanks for looking.

Jan, nice build, but the thing that immediately stood out was the seam on the blanket roll. It's very noticable, and it would improve the overall look if you removed it. One other thing, which could be the pics, are the tracks. Perhaps the 'redness' needs toning down? With maybe a touch of graphite on the edges?

Thank I mised the seam on the blanket roll.
And I'll give the tracks a litlle graphite.

Hi Jan,

Nice built Chaffee in french markings!
just a little detail: don't forget to add some dust on the decals, they look so fresh paint over a lightly dirty tank.

My familiarity with Viet Nam (just based on descriptions from vets) is that most of the dirt is reddish. You may want to dust it down with a reddish tint. I think everything else has been addressed. Nice looking build

Very nice Chaffee there once again.

Agree with the mud being more on the reddish / dark brownish side as that was the general colour of the soil in Nam and around South East Asia in general.

janwillem,
Like the heavy weathered look. That's my preference when it come to finishing a model.
Agree with the remarks about the tracks and decals, but still a nice looking build.
How about a few more shots? Front and back and ?
Good Job. I'd go
Joe

Yo Jan

Nice looking Chaffee I posted also on your dutch topic, but I want to tell you this.. (I was forgot to say this )

Make the barrel black, the end of it.
Also I agree on the other comments.
The chaffee is much better then mine

Good job, and you'll hate the tracks now :-)
