1/35 SAS Land Rover "Pink Panther"

So I have been up alot of last night and have a fair bit done. I'm not rushing it's just that suddenly I have alot of time on my hands.

Primed in black for the chassis and grey for the rest then a coat of olive drab as most were originally that colour before the SAS resprayed them I believe. Next some hairspray in areas of wear then the pink top coat.

I'm not over impressed with some of the PE as it seems to be over complicated and the tamiya part's are just as good in area's where you can't really see much when the build is completed. I think that both of your builds will look probably better without it.

Got some paint chipped. I used AK Worn Effects.
I migh have gone a little overboard with the chipping. I need to wait a few hours to wipe off some of the paint debris. Next I'll hand paint the wheels and weather the tires and the standard weathering and such.

I have question. On the instructions, step #7 I notice several areas to drill holes as stated for 7
Which holes and what size bit? My largest size is .70mm.
The holes to be drilled, are they the green arrows and/or the red arrows?

It's the green one's and there is another one that you missed on the left hand side very close to the dash. Just a small drill hole as these are positioning for the bonnet (hood) tools. Pantherman
