I've seen builders doing your mentioned technic using post-it notes due to the low tack adhesive.

Though I will never build one. I am looking forward to what you will do with that Tiffie Matt.

Getting there. Primered, pre shade, MM IDF Sand Grey sprayed and gloss coat layer on. Decals go on today and with this heat I'll also be able to clear coat again today. Oh yeah, base color on tracks also sprayed on.

​Once you get past all the bogey's it's all downhill from there. Kinda like the seams on aircraft.

Google is my friend.

Subtle weathering looks perfect!

Love tools.

Jeez....That's all...just jeez.

No sheet. Just ask SWMBO.

Down side to digital photography is that it will turn something that you think is OK to WTF. It is what it is. Here's the IDF crew for my Tiran 5 build. Added ics cord with solder and Royal Models microphones. Used aryl, enamel, oils and pastels.

Followed closely by the "Lets all fight like little girls on IDF armor colors from 1948 to hell freezes over debate".

It's God telling you to build a "ground pounder" for the now world famous LSM Eastern Front GB.

And did. Both sets.

I use same name thinner/reducer to paint. Tamiya is an acrylic based paint and will not mix with petroleum based thinner, maybe with thinner.. Don't know. I spend a lot of money and time on a kit. Not going to blow it over not spending $9 on a bottle the same name thinner. If you will notice, Tamiya sells very few colors that are nationality or make specific. Their kit instructions only call out their brand of colors. And thats usually a mixture of 2,3 or even 4 of their colors. When it comes to RLM colors, I prefer the MM enamel line. But....I hear that 2 of their colors are swap. RLM 75 is swapped with 76 or verse visa. Will need Mikester to clarify if he isn't to busy playing with his privates after how his San Jose Sharks are dismantling my Kings. My recommendation, in the USA, for acrylic RLM color would be the Mr. Color line using the Mr. Color thinner. Might have to add Mr Color Retarder depending on your local weather traits. I use lacquer thinner for airbrush cleaner for all types of paint.

Interesting scheme there. I am working on a drivers compartment on a M48A1 (a real one) and having a hard time working in there. But it's a luxury suite compared to this one. Nice job!

You would think so Rick!

I use the Mona Lisa brand. Great price on Amazon for it.

Very good. Hope you are enjoying the build.

TVMCer and LSM member, ABRAMSGUY1 is a master at the Flory wash.

Very nice. Having crew chiefed on one (HH1K) for 6 years, I have a large soft spot for those birds.

You mean this one?

Well, at least you got 2 more years than you originally thought. And you can get your shit out of my garage.

Looks sweet. Looks like your almost ready for the spray booth.

Might be time for LSM executive board meeting on this one.

Very nice. Outstanding detail.
