Airfix Scorpion Build Pt5

Added the MERDC and some black touch ups.
Starting to look the part now I believe, but it is a pain to paint the scheme in this scale.
Happy with the track sag, although the whole hull still looks a tad narrow.
I suppose I will have to paint a Kiwi as well as the usual decals to be added. Not looking forward to the Kiwi part.

  3. They're looking good. What figures will you use for 1980's Kiwi infantry? Matchbox NATO paras with a different helmet would work I suppose.

  12. mmm, I was wondering about the figures too, pretty much anything I can find with an SLR would be a good start I think

  15. Hey Al

    Nato Para's are pretty thin around around these parts so we will have to mix it up a bit.

    Lucky for me NZ was a real mix of weapons in the 1980's. M16A1's,SLR's,GPMG's, Brens both 7.62 and .303,Sterlings,M79's etc.
