Nice work, perfect shine. I love the chroemd transparency roof panels. Outstanding detail what I'll catch up on my builds maybe in the future.

Looks very good 👍 I'm wondering, how did you make the blue field on top of the windshield? Paint? Decals?

Neuling
Same question!

Dominik Weitzer
Thank you.
The upper tinted part is painted with Schmincke aero colors,.
Cinnabar green #28 520.
I would like to attach a picture in my answer, but I think, it didn't work with the mobile. 🤷

yngvenett
Thanks! I found something available in Norway, but not your colour tho. Need to learn how to do this.

Those i use is a kind of pigments like clear blue from tamiya. i found some different paints from Schmincke and only use three for the sunstripe. On this cinnabar green is written "pigmented waterproof fine spray color" . the linked are written with "total cover" - I don't know. But when never try, we never know.

Just searched for it.
The black labeled are total cover.
There are white labeled also and they look right to me - for example 28 406 is turquoise or 28 500 is phthalon-green with written "transparent" on the label.

Thanks again Dominik. It doesn't seem to be available here, but I will keep looking 👍

Guy Rump
Looking great, following. 👍

Mona
looking forward to seeing more of this project👍.my uncle(5th SF) was in country just after TET and one of the few things he ever... spoke of more than once, was about riding on top of a M113 that rolled over a mine

Mathias Decommere
Thank you Mona, that must have been a terrifying experience. The idea would be a fortified position in the Mekong Delta. I'm planning to build a sandback bunker and a piece of ricefield. The M113's will be stationary in a defensive position. Soldiers will be relaxed not knowing what is coming. But the layout is still evolving. Haven't decide the size of the groundwork yet. I'll be starting the diorama base soon... Will be continued 😉

Neuling
Looking forward ........

Spanjaard
vehicles look really good, looking forward the rest of the dio

Kim Branders
Love the dusty look.

Mathias Decommere
Thank you Neuling, Spanjaard and Kim! I'm starting the diobase this week!

Mr James
Looking good Mathias. Lovely work on the M113's. What did you use as the 50 cal casings?

Mathias Decommere
Thanks Mr James, I used simply the copper of an electric wire. An idea I got from lasercreationworld. It is a bit too narrow, but the overal impression works I think.
