Painting the Archer
Posted by constructor on Tuesday, November 15, 2011 5:17 AM

I have finished all the sub assemblies of my Archer and hopefully I can start painting tomorrow. Unsuccessfully searching for a good painting guide I chance upon a spanish hobby website discussing a finished Archer. The paint looks good but the seats inside the gun and the driver compartment gave me some doubt. The seats were painted in brown somewhat simulating leather or wood. Would that be correct for british armor? What color would the shell container be? Bronco for all its thoroughness left out the color guide to paint the interior. They only have the painting guide for the finished model.

Cant find one showing the drivers seat but below is one from a net search. Looks like its all green in there to me, its from the Bovington Tank museum but as well all know you cant guarantee they are right (but its a fair bet)

Brown leather or green canvas, you choose, as either could be correct
