I am sorry for the quality of the photographs but I did not think a day of making an article. My English did not progress (I speak french) but I am useful myself of a translator... for better doing to you to share some easy ways humbly.

For painting, it is enamel. The cammouflage is painted normally. After drying, I each basic color begins again which I mix with black, then white, then chestnut to make tasks. I pulverize then the basic color (very diluted) to drown the unit. I varnish while shining. (I did not do it well because the film of my decals are seen)  I pose the decals. I a brown juice in all the lines of structures puts. I again vaporize the basic color (always very diluted) to drown contrasts between the blue of markings and the gray of the plane. To finish, I varnish into matt.

I thank you all for your mail.  The diorama will be finished this weekend. I will thus make my last article next week.  Having had many questions about the tractor, I will give it again here so you can buy one.

For the tractor the manufacturer is "PLASTIC WORLD MODELING PRODUCTS (PWMP)  (plasticworld@skynet.be or http://www.skywriters.net/pwmp.htm). He is Belgian and all his products are available from Kit discount, a model retailer specialist. You will find there all the marks untraceable! The link exists on ARC. His mail is  info@kits-discount.com or www.kits-discount.com  

 

All the products were bought at kits discount.

The tractor of track: PWMP

The small duty cart / bomb: PWMP

The trolley with missiles, wheel chocks, the bar of traction and chains: FLIGHTPATH http://www.djparkins.clara.net/fltpath/fpmaster.htm

With soon and still cheer with ARC and Steve to give us each day the possibility of sharing our passion together.
