Jon,
Firstly, I am sorry that I sometimes mix up your name. I swear that I won't mix up next time.
And thanks for your sandwich.
T-link,
Since I am not a rivet counter, I didn't do any reference for my kit before building it.

excellent work. Did you use several shades of OD to get the faded paint look, or is that all from the wash/drybrush? I tried doing this on an M5 and it looks like it rode through a cement factory. I'll post some pics soon, maybe you all can tell me what I'm doing wrong.

BornToDig Ralph,
You are right, I used different shapes of OD. First, I sprayed the overall a flat black Second I sprayed OD as a cloud pattern. Third, I mixed the OD with Flat Flesh XF15 or Yellow, ratio is abt 50% of each color. Then I sprayed the mixture on the kit. Afterward, I washed the kit with a mixture of Black(50%)and Burnt Sienna(50%). At the end, I drybrushed the kit again with OD.
Hope this helps.
