Ended up using your FS code as a reference and mixing up a Sand Grey from Tamiya XF20 + Tamiya Buff + some dark grey to tint it right. Still very light but with a Grey filter I think it will be spot on. I'll post some pics when I've finished the detail painting.

MOST excellent!

Finally got the base coat completed. Looks a little more grey in real life (due to a couple of filter applications) than in my crappy pics.

Also got most of the detail painting done as well as the road wheels, MG ammo cans and jerry cans in their holder.

Decals are awesome, not sure who prints them for Legend but they are gossamer thin and conform really well with a bit of microset and microsol. The "9" on the fold down work bench on the glacis has settled in to the wood grane really nicely.




Gas/acetylene cylinders are finished in Tamiya white primer, decals are from the spares box.




Gerry cans and the tarp are held in place by straps made of Tamiya tape and PE buckles. Part of my mental block on this kit is due to the headache caused by threading all these tiny bits together!



Current state is as above, have put a final clear coat on to seal the decals and will slowly work on the tedious process of pin washing and some OPR over the next few weeks. Most Chata"P vehicles in my references look dusty and dirty but not chipped or damaged so will not be going overboard with the weathering.

That looks awesome with the paint on I love the colour contrat from the red.

Chris

I absolutely agree, it's come alive beautifully!

Philipp

That turned out really nice! Like it very much.

You're right about your weatheing, a big deal of dust and mud but no heavy chipping. The base color is spot on

Sorry Adam

Just had to compare the before and after photos

It looks superb, you have done a cracking job on the paintwork

The red really pops

Very well done, Adam

Thanks Steve, that's a really cool way to see the before and after!

On call most of this week so not a lot of modeling time, then our governing body has us doing a whole lot of stupid compliance courses over the weekend. Basically a weekend of my life I won't get back!

Compliance is good?
Isn't it?
We had the FCA on site all day yesterday
That's financial conduct authority!
A fun day was NOT had by anyone!
Bite hard it will soon be over LOL
Happy compliance and audit
