While you're at AM stuff you could use alternate decals for the spare wheel cover. I've bought a set of hexagonal auscam from Mouse House.

hey Frenchie, thanks for the figures references

Nice postie deliverd more goodies today Blast Crows RSW

Go on admit it....how many of you have spent more on aftermarket stuff than the kit itself


Me for sure. An Italeri M977 with the Real Model load and wheels is one example.

And since I discovered PE its a whole new world for my credit card!

Thanks for the information on the decals, might get some

RWS is finished just a dull coat required, and the camo on my backpacks is improved, although looks a bit dark in these photos

things are moving along nicely, i painted the Bushmaster using SMS paints and they are fantastic and highly recommend them.

i couldnt resist fitting the stowage on the kit, i still have touch ups to do, gloss and decals dust weathering etc etc

as Oliver states the kit decals for the spare wheel are all wrong so i may have to buy the additional sheet, I've already spent big on this model, so undecided

Hi Rob.

If you haven't sorted your paints out for this build yet, give Scale Modellers Supply a go. Made here in Victoria, and a dream to use.

Looking forward to more progress on this one, best of luck with the build.
Cheers, D


Thanks for the information, and i have not bought the camo paints yet. I tend to use tamiya acrylics because i can buy them locally but I am concerned about using the flesh colour and i dont think tamiya greens are a good match either, so i may get the SMS set.

Can i use Tamiya lacquer thinner with the SMS paint, i have some on stock.

While i'm asking questions.....I'm looking for suitable troop figures for Australian Bushmaster, has anyone got any recommendations???

thanks for looking


The SMS paints are the best for sure mate. They are 100% the best paint for the job. Glad you got them.

Nice build so far by the way.

All finished, what a great distraction mojo enhancing model it turned out to be (i usually build aircraft)
I just have the faces to paint when the enamel base flesh dries









I bought another kit
