I am aiming to get mine as nice as David's T16 (Horsa) which is a very tall order but none the less that is my bench mark. Once I have finished dipping the track it will be coated in a hard stone chip I am aware that it will wear through but I am happy with that. I am beginning to toy with the idea of doing the caunter scheme on the hull but the only thing that is stopping me is caunter was not used after Alamein 42... My grandads regiment were reforming and training in Callender (Scotland) at this point, he then went to Madagascar, India, Iraq, Persian theater of ops, Tunisia bizzerta, Scicily Then got evac'd to hospital during op Husky then re badged as 2/4th KOYLI sept 19th 1943 landing on uncle green beach Salerno Italy.....finishing his war early 45 to return home to take care of the family business as his father had died of a heart attack.

so much to think about ! I don't want yet another green carrier though....not really into the SCC2 brown either... so that leaves desert scheme the scheme i had planned on was light stone base with dark brown / black disruptive pattern
