When you do the new photos put a different colored cloth under it to. A light grey or blue would be my choise.

Cheers

Well Red Leg, It was relatively easy to build, and I did it in one night.There were some minor fit problems with the drivetrain though.

There is also no paint color of that Pink, so you just have to coat it with Matte medium

Looks great, William (in spite of the blurry pix). I built this a few years ago when I was getting back to modelling and it was so much fun.

I'd suggest an Omani dio, as this was the theatre the Pinky was famous for. It's a rather rocky semi-desert terrain, so look for some pix.

How come you left off the spare wheel? I understand that the SAS made use of it to protect the radiator from flying stones and other battle debris. Good work, but show us some better pix!

For a one night project it came out well. I am wrapping up the ground work of a diorama with this same kit in it.
I have put mine on a small road driving buy an old building with two Arab looking guys shaking thier fists at him as he speeds by.

Since the driver is out - how about a water break scene?


A couple of things on the your Pinki - the rear smoke launchers aren't weathered. I'd add your weathering to them too. Aslo weather the undercarrage.
If the tarp on the hood isn't glued down I'd pull it off thin down the wrap straps on it and put it back on. The tarp is nice, the straps are a bit wide.
