Philipp,
Thanks. The hull is basically done and the tracks do accept enamel paints. Currently painted the inner and outer pads black as well as attempting to fix a noticeable gap on the gun locking plate.

Gary,
Oh.....Don't let "the self proclaimed model God" hear you say that! That would be whining! Yeah, there are several issues with this kit...oh wait....now I'm whining again. Sorry. Your front plate is gorgeous!

Great work Mark. The anti slip strips came out great. Some nice scratch building there.

Don't you just HATE when you are painting your vehicle and you are POSITIVE you made all 14 required roadwheels only to find out AFTER you painted everything and cleaned your airbrush that you actually only made 13 Roadwheels? DOH!!!!

Thanks. It basically needs a pin wash. All the accessories (except the FN MAG) are already painted.

Dang It. Not a snowballs chance of making it. The wash has taken longer than expected, plus those two weeks in Maine really took their toll. I will post pictures once it is finished. :cry:
