Mark Thank you brother. Only someone with a dental mirror and an LED light would. But they'll need Xray eyes to see under the built up gunk.  Feldgrau Thank you kindly my good man. Keith Thank you very much sir. I was hoping to get some bench time in this evening. Not happening today. Maybe tomorrow.

It looks great Dave. With a bit of acrylic resin/mud pigments you can easily cover the glue spots.
Is this the 131 you're building ?

Armorguy Thank you kindly. I'm still working on which number. I am not overly familiar with the various numbers. Jeff Thank you very much my good man. Marco Thank you buddy. Mence Thank you and thank you. I picked a couple of road wheels to play around with some techniques. I used a couple that if I ****ed it up it wouldn't show. So far so good. The tires were painted by hand, as none of my stencils would fit wither side of the wheels. Two down.....forty six to go.   This is not all of the wheels.  Here's the chipping using the hair spray technique.

Brilliant work on those wheels. Way to go! They look like 1:1 scale wheels to be honest.

Marco Thank you kindly bro. Jcon Thank you very much brother. Feldgrau23 Thank you very much for the compliment. Jeff Thank you as always. The wheels/tires are all painted. Had a run of insomnia last night and finished them off. No weathering as yet, but I got to break in the new 5 power Optic-Loupe lens. Dukemaddog Thank you kindly good sir for the compliment. Today I completed all of my education requirements for my certification. I'm good for the next three years. My reward was some bench time today. Mostly, it was a reward. My primary AB went down, and had to order parts for it. My back up was brought on line and I got the hull and turret colors with RAL primer. You can see half of the wheels in the background. 
 This is the resin replacement tool box and mounting brackets.  
That primer (properly thinned) goes on like silk.
