Everything is coming along well, David (@dbutlr). Ingenious solution for nose weights, I never would have thought to use coins. And the coins probably cost less than anything you might have bought to use as weights in the nose.

Great progress, David! Getting close to paint.

The wheels look perfect, David (@dbutlr). I like to get replacement wheels if the ones in the kit are split into two parts. I have found that the tread seldom survives my sanding to get the two sides blended. I really like BNA ModelWorld in Australia. Their prices seem good, and the stuff gets here pretty fast. I once ordered something from England and something from Australia at the same time, and the stuff from Australia arrived a week before the stuff from England.

We have the same go-to sites, David (@dbutlr). Great minds think alike. :o)

Very nice progress, David @dbutlr
Indeed, those wheels are a huge improvement over the original ones.

I have two sources that agree on the FS numbers for the green over gray scheme. The oldest is The IPMS/USA Quarterly, Vol. 16 No.4 - Summer 1981. Pg 178. Second is the recently released Caracal Models CD48219 B-26K Counter Invader decal sheet from 2022.

Dark Green is FS 14062.
Light Gray is FS 16492.

Looking at the Cybermodeler FS 595c paint cross reference we get these model paints:

Dark Green/Deep Green - Life Color 040.
Light Gray/Dawn Gray - Mr. Paint 362 or XtraColour X147.

Hope this helps.
