Modern vehicles range

[Matt J]

Hi all

I received a reasonably weighty parcel from Leon yesterday with the modern vehicles range to paint up. It'll probably take several weeks to complete so I was going to post complete pics here as I went along.
A couple of these will end up in my own Vietnam project, such as the Cent MK5, and I was thinking alot of the others would be Arab-Isreali but I didn't want a whole load of desert pattern tanks. So I would welcome some input from esteemed members on some camo and theatre ideas.

and any suggestions on where to start, although the Conqueror looks very tasty.

Thanks

Matt

With Team Yankee being released in 2 weeks and  debuted at special weekend over here in NI some Western European stuff might be good

thanks Steve, some nice stuff on there.

I've assembled and based everything now and finished a couple of models - Egyptian armour for the Sinai, 1973 - T 55, BTR 152, OT-62 (pics soon).
Next will be some of the Isreali stuff - Centurion Sho't and I was also going to paint a Centurion Mk9 in IDF colours, would this be accurate?

Thanks

Matt

Beautiful painting and weathering! Do you use an airbrush for the cammo? It has a nice soft look to it.

Thanks guys - the T-55 is a cracking model

Do you use an airbrush for the cammo? It has a nice soft look to it.

no airbrush just several layers of watered down paint to build up the highlights.

Up next will be some IDF - Centurions, AMX-13
