I am waiting on some replacement decals, they should arrive next week or so. I am going to put this project on hold until I get those decals. What decals I had went on very well.

Ahhgghhh I spoke too soon. Unbelievable. Eduard pack the wrong decal sheet. They placed a decal sheet that belongs in a Mirage lllC box into my lllCJ. I notice that I did not have a the correct decal sheet when the instructions never show where to place the French markings. Ahhh!!! Everything was going way too smooth, great, super great. Ahhh I spoke too soon. Now my creation will only have half of the correct markings. I'll post a pic tomorrow. I guess I'm done decaling Big Smile [:D]

I just sprayed the first thin coat of Future and will be ready to add the decals by Tuesday. I like to give it another coat and let is cure for another 24 hours. Will have some pics posted soon. So far this build has not given alot of problems. I am impressed with Eduard's Mirage lllCJ and recommend it.

Actually its Friday and I am currenly applying the decals. They are really going on nice, no problems yet.. I should be completed by tonight. All that will be left is the landing gear and any weapons. Big Smile [:D]

O.k. guys, here is my entry into this GB. It is Academy's 1/35 IDF M-51 Super Sherman, I think it came out o.k. but I am going to stay with German armour.

BTW: The pic's make it look glossy but it is just the flash (or because I took the pic's while the dullcote was drying!), also, the pic's for some reason make the tank look orangey, but picture it with desert yellow, what it really is, so here are the pic's...

As always, any and all comments are welcome!

Thanks I used Tamiyas Flat flesh (XF-15) to lighten up the the green and brown colors. From the photos the camo looks not as dark so I just mixed in XF-15 and it did a good job of lighten it up.
