Not much going on at the bench this week, I've far too much to sort out around the house and garden but I've now moved onto the decals for the model. The ICM decals are pretty good being nice and thin, they settled down well and look very good. I found a spare red cross decal which I used on the front. Something I've noticed in photos of the real vehicle but which is missing from the sheet.
Did you paint the seat separate or mask it off? My weakness is the painting and detailing. I very advanced at assembly; but, need more improvement with painting methods. Same question for the "khaki" colored canvas parts - painted then installed or installed / masked / painted? - Do you use CA glue to attach painted parts?
Cheers Chris glad you like em! Anonymous, I painted the seat in situ using a brush and did the same with the khaki canvas on the cab sides. Yes I use a combination of CA and plastic glue to fit painted parts. I use VMS CA glue which is brilliant and find tamiya extra thin cement perfect for painted parts. If used sparingly it doesn't affect the paint.
Looks nice Pete - v.colourful decals!
