Wow! The engine bay is going to look amazing! I love all the extra details you've added. I just bought this kit myself, opened the box & couldn't believe all the extra parts. Theres even an Aussie version in there. I have been wondering about painting engines as I will have to paint the one in this kit & also another one in an AFV kit of an M3A1C. I have looked around for reference & wondered what color should the block be? any ideas?
another point, I noticed you build & then paint, doesn't that make it hard to paint small & tight spaces? Finally, what color are you going to paint the exterior? Olive green or olive drab? apologies for the wordy message, I'm just stuck & can't move forward on my kits until I know a little more detail about the engines & exteriors etc. Thanks again & great work!

G, I could only find one picture of the inside and it's not that good. I did find a few of the outside if you want to see them I can scan and post time. This is a M113 from Germany during the 1980's.



I'm the one on the front right ;D

 

[geegad]

well finally got the base coat on the interior a little on the green side but when i weathered it it should mute the BRIGHTNESS well hopefully







just looked at the pictures going to go back in with some yellow and white high lights i will return
