Airfix QA Scorpion update

I finished the red desert MERDC last night and added a wash to the final Scorpion from my CD3 NZ Recon Troop. With the sun actually out today I managed to take a few snaps in natural light, hence the particularly image heavy post today.
The brightness is long gone now which is bit of a relief.
The cam is as close as I was going to get at this scale and with my eyes, and I am quite happy with it.
Nice black wash to bring out the details does wonders.
Opps, that road wheel does not look too aligned.
The trio of Queen Alexandra's Scorpions. I am unsure which vehicle to make the Command Stand. To represent this vehicle I will add a few Ariel's.
And I must add some numbering as well and maybe another kiwi.
And at the rear I will add some unit serials '64' being the number. Model on!

  4. Lovely stuff Paul. I was thinking of these models when I saw some real CVR(t) at the Tank Museum the other day...

  6. Cheers Al, happy enough myself with them, although I left them down at the Army Hall last night, I was going to take a shot with them on a LAV but forgot about it.

  7. Hi Nick, Andy must have been very bendy to get in one, and very happy to get out of one as well. Cheers.

  11. Hi Geordie, MERDC hides mistakes. Bright and cheerful schemes always seem nice on a rainy day.
