Calling assembly done. I will add the light cages after painting around the lights. No major pit falls found. Nice little kit.
Up next primer and paint!

This is looking great! I wish they'd shrink it down to my scale! I can't wait to see it in that three-tone camo pattern!

Got the primer on and hit some spots that need some more assembly after painting hit with green. I missed the "tone" of green I was wanting. :idonno It should be okay I can always respray
I also had trouble with the paint drying, only 50 degrees in the garage. Figures since it was in the mid 80s all week.

When I get a cold day when painting I have a pedestal lamp with an old style clear 60watt globe that chucks out a nice spread of heat, I just move the flexible lamp head close to the parts and this acts like a mini drying oven with the domed lamp head.
Invaluable help for drying paints - cheap too!

Phil took you up on your suggestion - I must say it worked well.
Paddy, glad your able to pick up something up. Thank you.
MP, Oh I think your on to something there. :hmmm
Thank you James. B)
Okay yesterday tried the paint thing again. You know what, I love the color of the yellow/brown, but I think it should be much darker.
Both the green and the brown look so light in the pictures. I sit here now, looking at it and it seems dark (the way I think it should be)
next step is to clear coat it and decal.
