AMX 10 Having Fun

I'm really enjoying building this kit and have had a good day adding some missing details. First up I used VMS hull tex to add the missing anti slip to the hull. This stuff is dead easy to use, you just brush on the glue in an even layer then squeeze the texture bottle over it. After a minute or so you just lightly brush off the excess texture and you have a perfect panel of anti slip. 

The rear section has had more welds added and the exhaust re-worked to show a running engine. New handles on the engine deck also went on replacing the solid ones molded in the kit. The tyres are rubber so a light sanding on the tread faces removed a slight seam. On the hubs they look perfectly acceptable so I won't be wasting my money on resin replacements.
