I have added the tow cable and the board across the nose to hold up the Jerry Can and Ration box. I also added pigment with pigment fixer against the lower hulls sides. This stuff drys rock hard and the pigment becomes a permanent part of the model, no mushing or drying up and falling off, even after handling. I will add some pigments to the road wheels as well, and then give it a shot of XF57 Buff overall to blend together. The fixer will allow me to do this. I should have gotten some of that a long time ago.
My Value Gear Sherman Deck accessory is on the way, will add that when it comes (and I paint it).
Some more streaking over the star and Thunderbolt and more storage hanging from the turret.
I also experimented with using Apoxy Sculpt (2 part apoxy putty) to scratch build a recognition panel for the rear, but will have to build a new one when I get my deck piece. OR I can make one out of painted aluminum foil. Will try that too.
This is a fabric panel with the color Cerise, for observation by friendly aircraft. This would have been the WWII version of International Distress Orange. I can make Cerise by mixing Red Blue and White.
This is what it is and where it goes.
Stay tuned....
