My local club is having its yearly club contest in January and, in typical fashion, as of December 26th, 2004, I didn't have anything built. Again. I was determined to have something this year for the "Cold War" armour theme and as Korea was specifically excluded, I went huinting through the kit stash for something that I could build out of the box and still be happy with, rivet counter that I am.
My eyes settled on the old Italeri M47 which I had always heard was a great kit. Good choice, I thought, but what scheme other than European OD Green??? Who used these puppies in the mid 50's?
France!
At Suez!
And thus started the 4 week build for the contest. |

| Chapter 9 - Hull Texture II | Feb 19, 2005 |
The upper hull textured areas.
When stippling a fair amount gets on to neighbouring areas, like the fenders in this case, a gentle scraping with a #11 blade will clear this up, even in very tight corners, and will be invisible after painting. |
