M577

This is the Tamiya's kit with Eduard PE. I added copper wire antennae mounts, wire cutters, turn signals, davit rod, exhaust grills, and generator details. The callsign (November one - Air Defence huah!) is done with red painted masking tape. On exercise where our callsigns don't match the painted on ones, we use these duct tape expedients. Tamiya green and olive drab was mixed for the base, and XtraColor was used for the black and brown. The mud is Squadron putty thinned with rubbing alcohol and Tamiya flat earth. An old paintbrush was chopped up to represent the long grasses found in Suffield. If you look close behind the tree stumps, you'll see a gap in the tracks. This is what happens when you try to carry on a conversation while using a hot hairdryer to dry your wash - melty track!
