Lav 3 UN.

[Steve Scanlon]

So I have never done a WIP. but since I have got my mojo back, I have a few to get finished, so if it is ok I will do a kind WIP, this is Trumpys Lav3 that I will be finishing white UN markings,

the hull is mostly complete,

 

 

 

so into the turret

 

 

 

 

 

next up will be the baskets, never my favourite part, LOL.

Ah, nice! I'm looking forward asto how you pull the white scheme off!

[Fran]

White scheme!! ahhh looking forward to see it... Quite a challenge.

[Steve Scanlon]

AH no pressure then!

[Steve Scanlon]

Anyway I managed only a little work last few days due to SWMBO deciding to come home and interfere with my glueing time!!

 

Started on the baskets

 

 

 

Will have a full day on sat. so will post another update,

Thanks.

[Steve Scanlon]

Ok managed to do a little more today, gave up on the kit side bins, when I remembered I had two spare Black Dog ones with stowage cast in, so after a lot of cleaning and fettling and some filler they are now on

 

still a little more tidying up but they should look ok

 

added the aerial mounts and lifting eyes etc,

 

 

 

So should be able to get further tomorrow,

Thanks.

[Paulster]

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

[Steve Scanlon]

Thanks, yeah I have a free day on her so would like to get a primer coat on as I think some of the joints will need more cleaning up yet.

[Steve Scanlon]

So managed to get quite a bit done today, got say the turret baskets in this kit are a nightmare, the rear basket fought me all the way! the smoke launchers are not the best either but hey ho here is how far I got,

 

 

 

 

 

 

so next session will be a final check and then the pre shading using green as some items on the vehicle were not painted white,

Thanks.

Looking very, very good. Can't wait to see how the UN white comes out. Interesting color scheme, and not one you see done often

[Steve Scanlon]

So I have got the white on and begun the detail painting, not sure what I think about it yet, need to finish the detail painting and then a coat of clear gloss so I can start the washes and weather

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Thanks for looking.

[GUY5Y]

Looking really good

[Steve Scanlon]

A little more progress, done the main detail painting though I forgot the ammo tin for the 7.62 but no problem to sort later, gloss varnish on so looking a little better,

 

 

 

 

Got a full day on her Saturday so should be able to get close to finishing.

[Steve Scanlon]

Almost finished now, a little more touching up aerials, light lenses and she should be done,

 

 

 

 

 

Thanks for looking.

[JaseGill]

Looking good. Finish looks close too.

A mean looking vehicle so love it.

Steve,

She looks the business. Really great work! Gotta ask what wheels you're using...they look so good! Not the kit vinyls surely!

 

Cheers,

Dinesh
