Preshading is done with Tamiya XF64 red brown. The basecoat was apllied in several layers using Tamiya XF60 dark yellow. I also added a few drops of Tamiya clear and thinned the mixture to the viscosity of milk.

Next job to do: tires, bucket and jerrycan.

The model is primed with a spraycan from games workshop (Skull White). I use this for my figures and it works very good with me. Next step is to add the preshade and the base coat.

Started this oldie on a holiday trip in France, and finishing it now. Although it is an old kit, it is still quite good. Maybe that has to do with the fact that I'm a Tamiya fan. The sprues are in grey and the plan is ok. You can choose some options on which one to build, I've chosen the Afrika setting.
There is some work on the running gear, because of a mould seam. Once this is fixed and the parts are glued in place, it looks fine. The other parts need less clean up and fit very well.

Last night I finished the build of the 8rad. The turret didn't fit quite good, so a little glueing and sanding was necessary. I also replaced the kits jerrycan with a correct one.

Next step is to wash the model with water and soap. Then drying and hopefully there will be a primer coat this evening.
