Sadly the Merkava is finished! This kit was an Atlanta Model Show find for $8 but supplied me with priceless amounts of fun.
I highly recommend this kit. Oh and don't forget to order Dragon Ball and Chain Armor Kit!!
Alright back to the Challenger 1. Completed steps 8/10 and added all the small bits to the upper hull then join it to the lower hull. Will skip to steps 16/17 assembling the gun and turret tomorrow!
Off to the paint shop!!
The paint shop crew decided that a freehand camouflage scheme would look more natural so that's what they went for!! I kinda like it!!!
A few touch ups here and there once the mask was removed but all in all pretty pleased with the results!
Gave the B-58 a bath in Flory Dark Dirt Wash blend and fade the paint a bit then sprayed a coat of Future. I'll do the decals this evening and then the final dull coat.
This sucks!!!
Thank God I save all my unused decals. Had almost all the correct fuselage insignias in my file!! I'll let the red sol dry and then dull coat the beast!!!
All done. Follow this link to view the finished B-58!
