Hi George.

Thank you for the nice comment.

I finished the masks on the PC. Waiting to cut the masks when paint is finished.

The code letters are not 100% the same font, but it will do it.

Thank you once again.

Cheers,

Jamme

This is looking really nice. I will do the Mk. IX Tamiya kit, but this kit looks like it could feed my Mk. V needs.

 

 

 

very nice Jamme.  exceptional work on this.  like the pit!

 

I have the HB Mk.Vb/Trop which I plan to start late summer following my "Achtung Baby!" series.

 

Am going Greek with my Mk.Vb build

Hello Grant and Harv.

Thank you very much!

 

Harv:

This is the painting stage.

When the camo will be finished, I will paint the roundels and codes  (with the masks I made) then clear coat, then start the weathering.

Cheers,

Jamme
