Thanks for the comments guys. I got some paint on it today. I don't know how true this photo is but I think it's close. I think it's a decent colour. I sprayed it with hairspary before the green and already started the weathering. I noticed in a few places the paint is coming off right to the plastic without too much force. Oh well I can go back in later, no big deal.

Goood work with the hairspray, my endeavours to use that particular technique were, lets just say - less than adequate...

Thanks guys, it's nice to hear the positive comments.
Militaryaircarft, The hp technique is both easy and tricky. That's why I didn't rely on it alone. Sometimes the paint comes off too easy, sometimes too hard. Then nsometimes if you are not careful everthing down to the primer/plastic will come off. I think it depends alot on how thick the paint is and heavy the hp was apllied. I'd suggest going a little easy on both. Use an old brush with somewhat stiff bristles and lightly poke and scrub until you get the effect you want (after a soaking with warm water). If it is really stubborn, use a little Tamiya thinner or alcohol (not your good Scotch though). But be careful, as these will eat through acrylic like nobodies business. I couldn't get any satisfaction out of toothpicks and blades for some reason. Try different things and different sized brushes for different effects. It is a great technique but I still end up using the old school methods as I find they are pretty sound. ;D

I got the tracks on me Panzerjager. Also the front fenders. Alot of photos of these have the front fenders missing. I wanted mine on but I gave them a good old smacking first.
Here is another view. You can also see the radio wired as well. Nothing fancy but will make a good background for the star of the show...da gun. Tonight I was whipping up a simple pair of headphones to hang in there as well.
Still quite a bit to do but the worst is getting over.
