Hello again my friends
here it's the project that I'm working on....It's A.F.V. latest Stryker Mobile Gun System kit in scale 1/35 (both with Greek Leo2 A6 "HEL")
A.F.V.'s kit is a master piece about details and manufacturing...I think that it's one of the bests' kits ever !!!! U can leave all the hatches open both vehicle's and gun's 8) 8) I am sure that the after market issues companies will product hundreds of resin and p.e. parts to updated it 8) 8)

to be continued
One question:greek army has this vehicle?
Not yet my friend....generally as I know only U.S.A. & Canada & Australia & New Zeland army's forces have Strykers or LAVs III. Specially the M.G.S. there is only in U.S. Army's service.
I thot that only U.S. army has them!
Today after the Hycote's primer I make a preshadding using Tamiya's Dark Green and then I paint all the vehicle with a mixture of Tamiya's Field Grey + Bronze Green.....When it dries I sprayed the panels' centers by the basic color adding Ochre Yellow + Flesh for the "lights"......
After this I make a pin wash by Ivory Black and now I finish the dusting by MIG's pigments.....

Today I decide to don't use Blast's Models loads but those simplest from Tamiya or other from my spare box....

I'll add more loads, 'till now I finish only these 2ones. It's simple to paint these parts just paint them by Tamiya's Buff (or other sand color) and then make the shadows by Raw Umber (Put with a small brush oil color directly from the confection and then wet a large brush with white spirit. If it's too wet just touch it on a piece of paper. Next begin "paint" with this wet brush. U see that cleans the oil color and let this oil color only in the places where must be the shadows....every time you "paint' wet again the brush ;) ;) )
Now I am fixing a U.S. Marine soldier from different parts from my spare box....

I hope today I'll finish it (there are waiting F-5A & the Leo2 A6 "HEL") ;D ;D ;D
