After the wash, raised details were accentuated by dry brushing with light buff (Abteilung: Abt 135). This was followed with a pin wash (AK Dark Brown for Green Vehicles: AK 045). With a nice uniform coat of green to work with I started the weathering process using enamel washes blended with a soft brush and white spirits to make vertical streaks. No need for a primer as the kit was molded in green and the Tamiya lacquers bite into the plastic quite nicely. I applied a base coat of Tamiya TS-28 Olive Drab 2 straight out of the can.
However Tamiya thin cement was used in a few spots to make things close up and make the seams disappear. The parts fit perfectly and securely to the point that glue really wasn’t necessary. The kit (#WWT-008) was fun and easy to assemble as I have come to expect from Meng. Meng produces a line of kits that captures the toon-like nature of these vehicles while providing the builder with a lot of very nice details in an easy-to assemble model.
