Airborne Miniatures USMC Sniper Team Iraq 2004
Not a kit for the fainthearted. This took me nearly a month to clean up, before even thinking of reaching for primer. Painted in a combination of Vallejo and Jo Sonja acrylics.
The 4 colours I used for the Desert MARPAT are
1. Vallejo (Panzer Aces) 340 Highlights Afrika Korps +Jo Sonja Skin tone base.
2 Vallejo (Panzer Aces) 332 Highlights Japanese Tank crew
3. Vallejo (Panzer Aces) 339 Highlights German II (Feldgrau) + a tiny touch of Vallejo 70.818 Red Leather.
4. Vallejo 70941 Burnt Umber + a tiny bit of Jo Sonja Fawn to make it not as stark

Excellent work! Having owned this kit at one time, I know what you mean on the cleanup. Lots of fiddly delicate parts. Beautiful work on the MARPAT

Superb work Graham!

Got this kit when it first came out, never got around to painting it.

Brilliant!

Cheer's,

Superb effort Macca. It's a challenging kit and I've followed your progress on Facebook with interest. The final results are testament to your talent and persistence. Great job mate.

Cheers Jas, Jeff and Tony. I've had 4 other people tell me "I started it, got the poops with it, and stuck it in a drawer".

A classic example of "all that hard work paid off". First one of these I've actually seen painted up! Very nice job .
