First and y'all already pretty-much know this - I’m not an expert Shermaholic, I’m simply a bloke who likes to build the occasional AFV model, usually straight from the box, to the best of my limited ability.
Nor am I colour fanatic, I know that there as many opinions about ‘ambush schemes’, ‘Caunter schemes’ and what is the correct tone for WWII Olive Drab as there are people willing to share them. I’m from the School of ‘do the research – look at what others have done (especially 'our Terry') – try and match what looks right to you’.
I am happy to try new weathering techniques but NOT if they’re nothing more than old-and-tried techniques with a slight new twist and an expensive new brand name. In the same vain I’ll cheerfully mix ‘old skool’ and new approaches to get the effect I’m after. I’ve taken a couple of liberties with this project already. As I’ve no photos of the actual vehicle then it’s open to question as to whether it had the extra stowage box attached to the radio bustle. I have had it for years and I wanted to use it, so I did.
OK, on to some pics, stay tuned.
Ian.
