Re: TERRY'S 234/1 8-RAD"CAMO WARPAINT"
Did some work yesterday and I added some olive green camo paint. I did some more chipping and pin washes. I getting close to being done next will be some real dirt. Well here are some new pictures. Thanks for looking and comments are welcome.

Re: TERRY'S 234/1 8-RAD"CAMO WARPAINT"
Hi,Terry
Looks great so far,but....[I hate to be the bringer of bad news]...the ammo belt on your mg42 is on the wrong side.
I know that on the m2 .50 cal.machinegun the ammo may be fed from either the left or right side by repositioning some of the component parts for example,but that's not true for the German mg 42 machinegun,which has his ammo fed on the left side.
[But Please correct me when I am wrong,somebody]
Maybe you can still fix it.
It is still a great build,Terry.
Greetings,Ron.

Can't speak for the ammo feed but that antenna scares the hell out of me. Don't let it get broke!

Thanks Ron!!!! Oh Yeah it still can be fixed. That's what I get for using someone else's model for a reference.

Re: TERRY'S 234/1 8-RAD"CAMO WARPAINT"
great looking paintjob terry!
i'm sorry for being a pain in the a$$ but afaik the outside fire extinguishers weren't painted red but in the same color like te vehicle! would you like to have something in signal red on your vehicle in wartime? i don't!
it would be an easy fix!

Re: TERRY'S 234/1 8-RAD"ADDITIONS AND CORRECTION"
First off thanks to tanktrax and Martin for your comments. Second I would like to apologize to Laura for snapping at her about her comment about the fire extinguisher. She is absolutly right about the color. It was a rough night at my house last night and I should not have taken it out on Laura and I am sorry. Even as chaos ruled last night I did do some things to the RAD. I changed ammo belt on the MG42 and painted and wired the rear antenna.

Re: TERRY'S 234/1 8-RAD"PLAYING IN THE DIRT"
Well boys and girls the construction is done! 98% of the paintings is done. Let the weathering begin. I started by working on the wheels and then I will work my way up.
First I painted the tires with a moderate coating of Tamyia Flat Earth.
Then I go back and dry brush the tires with Tamiya Nato Black
Next comes some mud application. This is done using acrylic floor wax and pastel powder. First apply the floor wax to an area.
Then sprinkle an earth tone pastel powder onto the wet wax.
When the floor coating dries the mud will fixed in place.
I did this to all the wheels inside and out. This was done to the wheel wells and the underside of the 8-RAD.
I will continue this process with some lighter tones. Next I will do some dust areas on the upper surfaces to stay tuned. Questions and comments are always welcome.
