Base paint is on. I used Prince August IDF Green.

Details painting is done.

I’m a bit late to the discussion Olivier, how did you do the anti slip texture? Planning on a Merkava for my next build and was planning on using the VMS two part set.

[Olivier Carneau]

Adam,
I ground sand (with a hammer) and applied it over areas dampened with matt varnish. That way you don't have to worry about masking as you apply the varnish with a brush. Of course you need to work on small areas one after the other.

Interesting vehicle.

[Olivier Carneau]

Yes it is Milan. I guess the entry in service of the Namer will see its retirement sooner or later.

[Philipp Gross]

Thanks for the tutorial on the net

Looking very nice already!

[Bryan Krueger]

Very nice progress. Thanks for explaining the net technique.

[Olivier Carneau]

Thank you Bryan.
As the base color was wrong I painted the entire vehicle with a correct reference from Ammo Mig (Real Sinai Grey). I painted the markings too. The registration plates have been applied onto thin plastic card. When they are dry I'll glue them to the vehicle. The antenna is not glued yet.

[Olivier Carneau]

This build is over. I've applied a coat of dust to give the vehicle an operational look.
