    Thanks my friend @j-healy! Those are sweet little kits, old style for sure, meaning not extremely detailed, but such a pleasure to build, OOB, of course!
    Here is the DUKW, with the basic "light olive" hand brushed, still drying!


    Thanks for stopping by!

    Very nice Spiros @fiveten
    You're progressing quickly.
    I count an odd number of wheels, I assume the DUKW has a spare one.

    Thanks my friend @johnb!
    Indeed, one wheel is the spare one!

    Hard to tell that you did handpainting, Spiros @fiveten
    How much are you deluting the paint?

    My compliments on the brush painting my friend @fiveten
    It never worked for me to get a uniform layer on larger areas.
    Great progress.

    Onto decaling ...


    Decals had some minor registration problems and I had to closely trim them.

    Almost there...


    Most final bits added, windscreen frames painted...
    After glue curing, some weathering will be performed and onto final coating!
    Thanks for stopping by!

    Very precisely done without masks, Spiros @fiveten
    Looking forward to the end result.
