Thanks all.

All four colors on now, Tee Dee Us!

That's a first coat, gotta check for any visible brush strokes, clean that up, then clear flat and a VERY thin reapplication of camo colors.

Outstanding work Russel. I was very impressed with your 'casting texture'. To often I see it over done and not in scale, but it looks just right. Your paint job and extra detail add real panache. I think you may have an exceptionally fine model when finished.

Thanks! I'm back from a trip to the UK, thoroughly proficient in self-administered Covid tests, and back on this one. It's decaled, washed and pin-washed, some fixes applied, and ready for dust. CenTex AMPS is coming up and I want to bring it, not my best but something of a stretch for me personally. Pics ASAP. I'm also finishing up three IDF Shermans and dusting off a couple of others for the same event. I'll wind up those threads as I can.
