Thank you Oliver and Jeff, just a bit more progress Laying down the basic colours, The schemes always look a bit disjointed until nearly the final push with the blending in, all for now, regards simon.

The Famo has progressed a little, it is having the Electrics fitted, and tested at the same time, i have been using Luftwaffe blue on this scheme to lighten the grey, The whole build so far has just been out of the box, standard equipment, regards simon.

Wow that looks so good. What a monster half track. Nobody does "worn and weathered" better than you Simon. Just amazing.

Its really incredible what a good paint job can do on an "out of the box" build.
Best regards,
Bob
