Nice work on resolving the primer issue. The Model Air/Vallejo OD actually looks pretty good on my monitor and not too greenish, but the final verdict is how it looks 1:1. I have a zillion bottle of OD paint myself and not one is actually the same shade. Just go with your best feeling as colors and paint can drive you crazy.

 

 

Hi,

I ended up repainting the frame with Khaki drab, I really didnt like the OD Green.

It's all in the builder's eye and all that is important is that the final colors are what you had visualized at the stary of the color coats.

Hi,

Slow painting process since I am micro sanding after I paint to get the smoothest finish.

OD paint work looks absolutely wonderful and micro sanding to boot- wow!

 

[shark64]

Taking a break from Khaki drab and worked on the tarp, still needs  a wash and dry-brushing. There is a good amount of fading to be done with this truck.  Trying modulation painting.

Amazing weathering techniques - so greatly appreciate the detail photographs.

Took a while to get all the parts painted Khaki Drab. I am doing post shading for a change. I am learning as I go on this one.

Wow !!....harv

Looking mighty good and your learning curve on post shading weathering course, surely looks like an A+ is coming for sure.

Seats were faded and highlighted a step further. Worked on the doors but they also need a bit more looking at the photos. I am redoing the dashboard since the dials decals did not go down as smooth as I wanted. 

[harv]

Excellent....harv 

[shark64]

Not quite done on the dashboard  but here's the first look.

Great looking work Oliver !....harv

Nice work on the dash - looks mighty good.

Thanks Pete. Here's how it stands today . Still need to do some dry brush and light dusting. The decals put up a fight, I almost scrapped them but a heavy dose of  Solvaset came to the rescue.   I did a light filter effect using light ocre,

raw umber and white titanium, I was afraid to go too heavy.  

[harv]

Very good Oliver !!....harv 

[Peterpools]

Oliver - looking mighty good and the weathering has the perfect touch.

Doors and windows not glued in place yet cause I need to some drybrushing work. I will spray dark yellow dusting once the model is completed to match the windows dusting.

Wow, another detail outburst. I have to raise my hat to your abilities, be it scratch building or painting, absolutely jaw dropping.
Colors looking great, though I'm with Peter about the AK real colors. They spray absolutely fantastic, thinned with about two thirds of leveling thinner. I never had consistent results with AK acrylics, but never tried the 3rd generation ones, you tested.

Cheers Rob

Weathering progress is looking so good and enjoying each update. 

[shark64]

Ok this part is done, frame is next.

[Peterpools]

Oliver

Looking so good - just love your style of weathering - it brings out the best of the build/details.
