Painted Humbrol 93 I think, Desert Yellow with a Caunter pattern, still debating of making it a 3 tone pattern with the slate gray.

I like it just the way you have it.

Thanks guys. I've stayed with the scheme and with a small sponge chipped around the edges. I've also added some items to it using a guitar string. The kit has an antenna base but no antenna so using a guitar string I superglued that in. I used tape for the flags depicted from the box art. Also the hatches in the front don't have any stands to keep them up, but they did have the notches that you'd place them in. So again, using a smaller guitar string I've added those.

Dude, it's like two different people that did the motorbike and this one. This looks very presentable! Not sure about the aerial, next time you may want to try something that is more authentic.
Would be interesting what you would come up with regarding researching this?
BTW an interesting discussion on old techniques of "antenna making"

I must say that this looks really good!
But there is still a little bit of pebblelyness, on the front drivers hatch for example. Next time really work on the smoothness of your finish and it'll all look great. You should try to do an auto with a spotless finish for an exercise. In armour we get away with stuff, but the shiny pristine look that cars require need stringent protocols.

That I think would be more interesting for me, I'll have to get one.

Added oils and pigments, I think I'm done with this.

Damn fine looking Honey. One thing I notice on the interior (which you cannot see now thats shes closed up) was several ejector pin marks on the ammo containers. Had you wanted to portray this in an open/exploded view those would have really stood out. I really like the way you paint scheme turned out. Looks good. Great Job.
