Default RE: "In The Mood" M4A1 76mm Build

First step is Priming the lower pan. I usually use a rust colored primer but this time I gathered up the assortment of half empty Testor Spray cans and found all the dark tan and brown colors. Also painted first was the suspension brackets for the bogie assemblies. I like to use enamel paints for the base coat on these tanks as I feel it holds up better. The weathering and detail painting may be acrylic or oil, or enamel, whichever strikes my mood.

Second I painted the idler assembly and transmission hull components.
