Default Repaint of HL Bulldog

HI all
I got my HL Bulldog in the mail then took into the paint booth and repainted it in Nato Tri Color camo. Detail painted the 50 and took her out in the dirt!!

Same here. I like it too, very much so. [sm=thumbup.gif][sm=thumbup.gif]

Please elaborate on the paint you used, the actual colors/color names and any other details not readily apparent in your pic. The tracks appear as though you've painted them gray or steel. Have you thought about getting the metal tracks now available for this tank?

A common flaw on all the Heng Long .50 cals is the ammo box is mounted in the wrong spot on the gun's receiver--there's no way the linked belt can feed from that position as it is not in line with the feed port. Just an observation but one I am certain to correct on my Pershing.

That tank is much too beautiful to drive in the dirt. You did a fantastic job! How well does the thing operate?

The paint is Polly Scale NATO Tri Colors, Black, Brown, and Green. These were all airbrushed through a Badger Dual Action Series 150. Your right about the 50, so I removed it and relocated the feed can and remounted it in the other mount and secured the barrel in the provided barrel mount. The tracks are just dusty from running it. I have on order a set of metal tracks with the rubber pads installed on them. I will have more pictures of the tank as I detail it more.

The tracks on that tank seem unique. Are the metal ones that you ordered going to look just like them? [sm=confused.gif]
