Thank you Vincent.

I've applied a basic weathering to the running gear before I glue the side skirts. I still need to add some dried mud and more dust. Will do it at the final stages of weathering. I think the shiny look of the inner face of the tracks must be accentuated too.

Thank yo uMark.
I have applied the Helloliv patches. The Vallejo paint is not user friendly at least with my airbrush :lol: I had some hard times spraying it because it was either too thinned and flew everywhere in the recesses or too thick and my airbrush nozzle was clogged.

The result is good enough considering the amount of stuff and dust I still have to add. :D

Thanks for the kind comments.
I have started the weathering by applying a pinwash. Next step will deal with mud effects.

Well before adding mud and dust, I decided it would be better to add some stuff on the vehicle as seen on the period pictures.
So I made two crates from plastic card. I also started to build the extra armor made of Hesco mesh and sandbags for real. To depict this, I first made the "bags" with putty. When it is dry I'll add the mesh and the tarps over it.

Some more details have been scratched and added. I still need to paint the tarps at the front. Then I will start the weathering i.e. spraying dust everywhere :lol:

Hi all,
I have sprayed a coat of dust all over the vehicle and added some mud to the lower parts. I call this one done.

I'll take better pictures with another background soon.
