Many thanks, my friends! I am sorry for the delay in my reply.
It has been so hot here, painting has been difficult. I decided to hazard the painting of a few of my accessories while it was relatively cool this morning. The water cans and fuel drum were painted a couple weeks ago, I applied hair spray to the fuel drum and then shot a thin coat of Tamiya light gray.
The real thing.
The water cans were primed, painted with red oxide primer, then hair spray, followed by a light coat of Tamiya Field Gray. Water and a brush removed some of the Field Gray. I then used shot a light coat of AK Interactive Washable White. This paint is designed to be removed with water, eliminating the need for hairspray or a chipping fluid.
I made my own stencil using a business card and an X-Acto knife. I'd say I like this method for small scale items, not sure how it will work for things like winter camo.
More stuff was painted, but I got sidetracked during the afternoon and didn't photograph them. More to come, thanks for dropping in.

Very nice details Mike . I had never noticed that the drums came with their own wrench for the plug.
I also really like the washable white . I need to try that out myself .

Wow Mike!
I just took a look at this thread today and I really like this model and the step by step photos of your progress. I think you have done an excellent job on the construction and the painting of this vehicle. You have just the right amount of weathering, chipping, etc. With all of the new products on the market these days for weathering and other effects, it is refreshing to see a model that is well done with just the right amount of enhancement. All too often these days you see vehicles that are over done. Great work, Mike!
Cheers,
James

Modeling time has been at a premium lately, so I have been adding some details here and there. Getting close to where I want it to be, still have a bit to add.
Buckets are resin pieces from Armand Bayardi, stowage rope is Hobby Lobby thread.
The leaves are a mixture of real leaves and paper, punched with my RP Toolz Leaf Punches.
I'll fill in the blanks this week, maybe wrap this build up next weekend. Thanks for dropping by.
