Hi all. I had this left over after building the Bedford MWD a few months ago so I thought it was about time I built it. Being an infanteer, I couldn't bring myself to depict an RAF variant as per the instructions so I've finished it as a vehicle belonging to 1st Battalion Coldstream Guards of 7th (Guards) Brigade, 3rd Infantry Division circa 1940. The choice of unit being entirely down to the decals I had in the spares box! The Khaki Green No 3 is a 3:1 mix of Humbrol 159 and 98 with a heavy dry-brushing of Vallejo Brown Violet to lighten it and give more contrast with the dark green disruptor. The Guards are famously fond of shiny things so I won't be weathering it any further but I will be adding tie-downs for the canvas. _20191028_221303.JPG_20191028_221319.JPG_20191028_221342.JPG_20191028_221405.JPG
