late entry m113 (Tamiya 35040)

[Drpepeprz]

the build i done, now comes the fun part



I used yellow sand paint from vallejo, 1st coat just paint then watered down about 5:1 with water for a "driven trough a huge puddle" effect, I used a piece of sponge to apply


On this next one i wanted to show how i fixed the roadwheel mess from before using the same color paint over the black marks.
I also used AK's engine grime wash on the center of all the wheels

Ok, I thik i'm done









I realise it's far from s show piece, but it's my 1st one completed in decades and I love it! I learned a lot at every step and will definatly get better with time.
I'll probably redo this exact kit in a year or 2 see how much better i got
