Well, I disassembled everything and got the base coat of paint sprayed on. I actually attempted a wash with flat black, brown and thinner (1:1:10), but it was a fiasco! [:'(] I had to sand and scrape and then repaint. I think I will just try to dry-brush some of the details after the tank is put together and just leave it alone.

The next step (maybe tonight) will be to install the gearbox and speakers and then solder the wires for the elevation, traverse, recoil and lights to the proper connectors for the Leopard DMD/MFU. Once the tank is fully functional (fingers crossed), I still have to decide how to mate the upper and lower hull together. They will probably have to be screwed together in some way, so I may just add thick Plastruct card to the upper section that I will screw to the lower section. That should be an interesting task.
