Album info

I decided to build this one in Brazilian markings as part of a group build. When I discovered several other modelers in the GB were doing the same Olive Drab scheme, I decided to do a natural metal finish one. This was the second build for me using AK Xtreme Metals. I like the finish they give, but discovered that Tamiya tape adhesive like to adhere to the surface of it sometimes. It may be that the paint is still curing, as I haven't had the problem after several weeks of drying time.
