Oooo guages!! Nice touch!! Were they in the kit or with the pe set?

Hi Nem the control panel did come with the kit in etch but the Eduard etch set was better detailed and included a paper dial or printed plastic dial set so I have used the plastic set and painted the rear white Andy Current builds:-C57,Zero, Lamborghini Countach, Caldercraft HMS Agamemnon,Robi,R2-D2, MFH Cobra .

Hi All I have done some more on the painting but its going to be done in three parts gun ,carriage and hull ended up with a bit of splatter here and there not a happy bunny .I also tried to recreate the type of paint scratches that may occur around the shell breach. The copper barrel rifleing is more easy to see now also regards Andy arpurchase attached the following image(s): Current builds:-C57,Zero, Lamborghini Countach, Caldercraft HMS Agamemnon,Robi,R2-D2, MFH Cobra .

You have done a great job on spraying the camo so far Andy - very nice work indeed and all the work beneath that paint is equally cool. Well done!!
Keep up the good work mate, watching with interest.

Hi All A few more pic's on progress, the camo's virtualy done so it just the rusty silencers to add and the railings. Im going to dirty up the lower half before I marry them up more soon regards Andy arpurchase attached the following image(s): Current builds:-C57,Zero, Lamborghini Countach, Caldercraft HMS Agamemnon,Robi,R2-D2, MFH Cobra .

Hi All iv started dirtying up the tracks and lower hull using my patent mud mix this is made from Gouache colours burnt siena, yellow ochre and viridian green I have only done a coat and the under hull and 1 side of the tracks so the 1st pic shows the hull before and the last two with mud regards Andy PS its still a little wet in parts arpurchase attached the following image(s): Current builds:-C57,Zero, Lamborghini Countach, Caldercraft HMS Agamemnon,Robi,R2-D2, MFH Cobra .

Hi Nem Thanks for looking in regards Andy Current builds:-C57,Zero, Lamborghini Countach, Caldercraft HMS Agamemnon,Robi,R2-D2, MFH Cobra .

Hi All A bit more progress, the lower hull has now been added to the upper hull and the silencers added with the etch brackets and joints also the camo on either end has been added. Just the railings to go on now and the crew to make up and a bit of weathering. the shell is only half painted just placed it there for effect not sure what colour the shells were though as the paint instructions don't mention a colour four it so for now its Tamiya's dark iron and I think the rear rings should be copper. As always all comments are welcome regards Andy arpurchase attached the following image(s): Current builds:-C57,Zero, Lamborghini Countach, Caldercraft HMS Agamemnon,Robi,R2-D2, MFH Cobra .
