Yet another newbie to armour!
My dearest beloved chose me this kit from amongst all the others she could have chose as a crimbo present so perfect timing to fit into the Normandy group build.
Not sure how I am going to pose her yet but can guarantee if my latest GB (BoB) contribution is anything to go by I will probably be late finishing.
This will also be the first Tamiya kit and here come my first questions!
Reading the instructions, which are different to what I am use to, I see that the colour of the hull is indicated to be the following
XF-1:1 + XF-26:4 + XF-52:4
Am I correct in thinking this is 1 part of XF-1 mixed with 4 parts of the other two colours?
Also what colour should I paint the interior if I choose to have hatches open?
Any suggestions of some good resources to help with inspiration would also be welcome as although the web is a wonderful thing it can also be very overwhelming with such an choice of pictures so making it hard to choose.
Thanks
Rich
