Peterpools Posted February 24, 2023 Share Posted February 24, 2023 Paul Looking mighty good. From the pics, looks as if you are giving the Tamiya's Steyr 1500A a nice, dusty finish - looks so good. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From the pics, looks as if you are giving the Tamiya's Steyr 1500A a nice, dusty finish - looks so good. Hey, thanks Peter...honestly, I wasnt intentionally trying to make it look dusty...just bad photography on my part. It's just a traditional flat cote.....using the Testor's stuff, only using, this time, a greater amount of thinner. This time...about a 60/40 mix thinner to flat cote. This went over a coat of Tamiya semi-gloss lacquer pre-decaling coat..also about 60/40 favoring thinner. I like the results....very smooth without imperfections. I'm glad you liked it...thanks for your kind feedback. I really loved this kit....too bad Tamiya seems to have abandoned it in 1/35......1/48 scale still available. I have the Commander version in 1/35......When I do that, I'll do the 3 color camouflage version. Again, ...I highly recommend the kit.....Great fun, cool vehicle. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have some axels and wheels in the spare box so i will see how far i can get with that. Im going to buy a italeri volvo for the engine and cabine so all the other parts i can use for this is good. But im going to see how far i can get with evergreen. Thanks for the link but i prefer to keep it in Europe because the import duty that i have to pay.  Mark 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
