Just about ready for the paint booth.

Huh? With just about nothing glued together yet?

 

[TimM63]

Base coat done. Now doing some touch up and detail painting.

 

[BarleyBop]

Nice... what colour paint did you use for this one?

 

[TimM63]

what colour paint did you use for this one?

Tamiya XF-59 Desert Yellow
The instructions called for XF-60 Dark Yellow but I didn't think it was dark enough.

 

[TimM63]

Stopping for the evening. Will pick up again tomorrow.

Dark yellow is an inaccurate colour for North Africa anyway, as it was introduced for use in Europe I suppose the kit doesn't mean to represent an Afrikakorps vehicle?

This one is done for now. I am inspired by the diorama Gary did (https://www.scalemodeladdict.com/th...panzerspähwagen-4x4-afrika-korps.14731/page-2) and will probably do something similar. I have the radio operator and I ordered the Panzer III.

That would certainly look great in a diorama. Nice build. PM
