Here is my latest project the acadamy 1/35 FISTV completed. I used Tamiya acrylics and humbrol enamels and weathered mildly with artist oils and pigments. I plan to use another base but thought it would do for the pics. This is the hardest veh to find good reference on but from what I could find I used.
The antena bases need brush gaurds around the to make them right but I had no materials for this .Anyway, Comments most welcome.

Dan,
Give it some bumper numbers and you're almost there. Nitpick......pics 2, 3, and 5.....the canvas strap that holds the tarp and camo roll...it bends between the two when it should be tight....straight across the two. Pull it out a bit in the middle and it'll look better.
Pic one...rear right track....what's the white "stuff" on the track? Shade it and that's good to go.

Thanks for the comments mike. Duely noted.
The white stuff on the tracks is supposed to be dust accumulated but I will touch it up.
Straps yeah I see it now and will fix it asap.
I am tryin to get my weathering right but hav'nt found the best method for me. I keep reading and tryin other methods and have yet to find one that I can perfect.
Cheers for the comments
