Hi guy's,
Here is the latest up-date on my Fitter.
Everything is painted and has been installed and has been covered with a gloss coat, but I can't start weathering until I have the new decals for the license plates (I'm waiting on a stencil set) until then I'll have to wait.
So less talk more photos








As soon as I have the license plates on and done the weathering I'll post some new photos.

That looks fantastic Jan. The colour is just perfect for an IDF M113 and all the fixtures and fittings are excellent. I like it a lot! Its a shame you didnt replace those awful kit drivers periscopes as they do look a little bad, but not your fault! You may also want to add some sort of lense in the seach light as it has a visbale mould line through it. Excellent work though! As for the license plates, you could try using eduards or Verlindens PE plates, they look better tha just painted on numbers, I may ahve some spare....

I am going to add a lens to the searchlight and a aluminium backing so thats why I didn't bother with the mould line .
As for the color, Thanks for the complement. on that.
I did a lot of experementing befor I got that right (in my eyes).

Janwillem,
Don't forget to paint the driver's and TC's periscopes.
Where did you get the FNMAG form.
I like the build a lot!

I'm going to paint the periscoops last so thats why.
The FNMAG is one from Dragon I had in the sparebox, I just had to scratchbuild the gun cradel (I don't think you write it like that but I hoop you undersand what I'm saying)

Looking good Janwillem. Love all the contrasting colours, these should look the part when flat coated, and weathered. You may need to paint on some gloss over the decals, especially on the engine hood, as they appear to be silvering slightly. Nice one!
