Thanks for the link to that book. I guess Tasca got the paint or markings wrong?

Hi ,

Not sure if they're 100% right or not , just use to have the book and feel it's worth having !

Not sure of what paints you use , but here is a link to a paint mixing article (using Tamiya acrylics) by Mike

Starmer (he has written numerous books and articles on the subject)

Thanks for the link. :v I may just go with the N.Z. version which is just plain sand. I may get the book. Does that book give any overhead shots?

Sorry for late reply. My laptop I bought back in November went bad on me last Sunday while I was on the road. I found another kit of this one for a good price. So,hopefully in a few days I will post some pix.

I really wish Tasca would not have a complicated suspension set.

The grouser box covers on this are the early type. Did they have the mesh like the more common later type?

Don't know, I could check in the book later today Chad. It's looking good though.
