Hi guys,
The breech is there! I just had it closed because I wanted the barrel to
elevate, and with it open, you have to leave the barrel in the lower
position.
As for the paint, it was German Field Grey and German grey, both Tamiya
paints. I wasn't sure of the exact colour tints, but figured that I would be
better off going straight from the bottle instead of mixing because of the
size. Didn't want two different shades of grey or green. Went through 4
bottles of Tamiya paint (2 of the green and 2 grey) painting the kit with
the airbrush, and those were the large bottles, not the newer small ones!
Thanks for the praise!
