Nice work - I'm feeling jealous envious - this is definitely the nicest of the 234 range

Here I’ve got the interior painted. I used the Vallejo and thinned it with tap water. Seems to have done ok.



Then I attached the upper hull to the lower. The upper part had some alignment pins that matched up with holes on the lower part. However, it seems the holes were deep enough to make a proper fit. Funny, I don’t remember this issue with any of the other in the 234 series. I simply shaved the pins off and the top and bottom pieces fit perfectly.



Now, on to finish up the rest of the outer hull parts.

Major assembly completed. I gave it an overall coat of dark yellow, lightened with a bit of white. The camo was Tam Red Brown, lightened with Khaki at a 60/40 mix. I forgot to take pictures as the fenders and such were added.






Now, on to some detail painting, followed by a gloss coat and then a dark umber oil wash.

Thanks. These kits go together quickly, for sure. But I have to stop before I attach the wheels because I didn't think this through. I planned on having this off in a ditch. I realized that I'll have to articulate some of the suspension arms to make it look realistic.

Yes it was and the camo looks first class. So does the build.
