It's panted!
And even I like how it turned out The stripes reminds me of those
yellow / black striping put on heavy equipment. But hey, it is heavy equipment :-)
It is still to be paintchipped and weathered.

Earlier in progress pics can be viewed in this thread.

Enjoy the pics.
Any comments and critique are most welcome!

Hi Roel!
I found the camo in the "Leningrad 1941" book, published by "Wydawnictwo Militaria" No.162

Original artwork:

Jeroen, the yellow is Citadel colour acrylic named Bubonic brown, with just a touch of Bestial brown by the same manufacturer, but I think that Humbrol No. 24 (jumper yellow) or No. 81 (pale yellow) would do as well. Green is just Humbrol 116 (US dark green). For me this camo is just fun to look at :-) .

Cheers

I love that paint job Very well done The tow cables look like they could use a dark wash to tone down the brightness some

A great entry for the campaign! Love the overhead top view pic. A paint scheme I don't believe I've seen before, so its a treat to see something a tad different,(that's also well done).

Cool!

Hmmmm, It's very yellow... but still looks interesting. For me this camo says: here I am, pls be carefull and don't drive over me. :-)
I can't wait to see it finished.

That's a good one Marcin!
Nevertheless I still think it would be hard to drive over 'it' :-)
