Hi mates, I'm assembling this kit:


to realize this :


main steps done,  until now ...






A layer of AK RC098 Russian green:



Then a random rust paint ...



And  a layer of RC104 Iraqui AK Army Desert Sand before the weathering task ...

Nice work so far!  :smiley: The chipping on the tool boxes looks really good.

To me, one of the nice things about armour is that you get to glue a lot of plastic before running into things that need painting.  ;D

Note that with a less-weathered green, it'd fit right into the Iran-Iraq War pattern
