That Kangaroo is coming along in leaps and bounds!

I have to blame Mr. Beecham, he of model making skills and cycling prowess, for the title to this post! I sent him a picture of progress on the build of this Italeri kit and that was the response I got!

Anyway, The external parts of the Kangaroo have now been painted with Tamiya Olive Drab. For some reason the paint has come out in various patches of differing greens which looks quite good!

With the paint dry I applied some gloss varnish to the areas that the decals were going to be applied to. This avoids a white frost forming under the decal if applied to a matt surface which is what the Olive Drab is.

With the varnish dry the decals were applied using some MircoSol to soften then to conform to the moulded undulations.

Once the decals are dry I will apply some matt varnish to seal the decals and provide a base for some weathering. Yes, the Kamgarro is certainly coming on in leaps and bounds Mr. Beecham!
