Gday All,
Nearly finished my first 251. I think it is ready for a spot of weathering. Any suggestions, comments welcome.

Cheers
Alex H

Wow!

I really love that camo scheme. I would begin weathering with some dust overspray (preferably from an airbrush) on the lower areas, and then some filters to tone down the sharp camo scheme a wee bit.

Hope to see this finished soon!

Good looking build and nice cammo. Was it handpainted or airbrushed? The brown on the rear looks a bit "2 toned" but that should blend with weathering.

It may just be the phot - but the cross on the right side may need some extra weathering as it appears to be shinier than the others.

Show us some pics when it is finished.

Looks good, I'd go with a nice dark red/brown wash for the tracks. Who makes this kit?

Nice work Alex,

I agree with Daniel about toning down the camo sheme first and don't forget to give the running gear a good going over also.

Looking forward to seeing the finished product.
