Thougth I should show my KUTA III GB build here too.

This kit was started before my airbrush era, and almost finished.
For some reason I had problems getting the etch in place, and put it aside.
Running a bit short on finished objects this year, I decided to have a go at it again.
So with the help of Gator glue and a lot of determination I got the light protection in place this time.

Now with the etch finally there, I could start painting the camo.

And after some Johnson (Future) I could get the decals on (all 5). :)

The decals went on very nicely, and another layer of Johnson was put on.
After it had dried thoroughly, I started putting small dots of oil color.

Then I used a flat brush to get streaks. Adding a few with a fine brush.

Well, that's where I'm at now.

Next I'll start with some dirt.

Time for some goo! :)
First some mud!

The pic is taken just after I put it on so it's still wet. Looks like I used chocolate! :)

Next I continued with a little brighter pigment. Strangely it looks much brighter than the lid and name suggests.

Anyway, strange as it may seem, I continued with yet another pigment, and after that some Tamiya 'makeup'. ;)

In the end I think it turned out pretty good! :)

Not much left to do now.

Supplied with the kit are some extra stuff like duffel bags, but I'm not sure how they should be painted, as the instructions doesn't anything about it.

Cheers,

Håkan
