Right - thanks all for pointers etc: these are now complete & JC is happy with them so they're going to get varnished & packed up; I've done MM camo onto the quads but it looked odd / rubbish on the trucks so I repainted them back to plain green. This was a really enjoyable battlegroup to paint  :)

Once they're completely matt-ed I'll take some on-table pics for the Photos section.

Very nice Nik, but no stripes, or pips?, no div/unit sholder flashes (says ducking). Also the Brits tended to either cover or paint out the hull/body side star, and only carry the roof one. Final one for info, 44 onward in Europe the FAC woul be an M5 1/2 track, and carry a roundel (Type A?) with all 3 colours on the bonnet. That came from Alan Halilton, his dad was one in Europe.

Looking really good now. Did you hand paint the tac marks? The Micky Mouse on the quads looks good.

I'll disagree with Ian over white stars - while on tanks the side white stars where painted over, soft skins seem to have remain liberally coated in them.

Looks great Nik.  That will be a sweet looking army on the table.

I tend to not be that picky on 10 mm myself.  One of the fun things of switching from 28 mm.  Any extra effort on 10 mm just makes 'em that much better in my opinion.
