That's a fab bit of reworking Carlos - I do like that Camo.

Bruce & Stuart, thank you!
Stuart, the camo was somewhat common at the end of the Normandy campaign and for the breakout drive across France. 2nd and 3rd armored divisions had their armored vehicles camouflaged en masse at that time.

What's intriguing is that the reworking actually benefits or appears to benefit not only from your increased skill level but from the usage of some of the original surface as a base. This is really interesting to watch and I'm truly grateful you've posted this thread.

Thanks Bruce! The old base paint does have the added benefit of texture compared to the original smooth plastic.

All of this work is top shelf, Carlos! I'm really excited to be following along here with you! Thank you for allowing me the opportunity. I'm taking notes here too. I think this additive, reductive work will help with linen on WWI aircraft finishes too.
