Flory Wash

M41 Walker Bulldog Completed

/ Matt Dyer / 2 Comments

The Flory Wash (Brown) was used to weather the model, and the results are very nice.  

I recently discovered an Ammo by Mig product – “Matt Lucky Varnish”, A.Mig-2051, that worked very well.  It requires no thinning and can be cleaned up with water and alcohol.  I found that misting it on the model at about 15 PSI works the best.  It dries quickly to a very flat finish.  It looks about like Testors Dull Cote when it dries.  I have used Dull Cote for years, and I am glad there is a contemporary product that will substitute for it now that it is out-of-production.

I am pleased to add this important armor vehicle to my collection.

Thanks for dropping by.

M41 Painted – Weathering Coming Up

/ Matt Dyer / 2 Comments

The markings are from Star Decals (35-C 1251) for an ARVN M41 of the 11th ARC, Dong Ha in April 1972.  I wonder if it is a gate guard somewhere or scrapped or still on duty with the NVA.  Who knows?  April 1972 was three years from the end of the war, so it may not have even made it that far.

My plan is to use Flory Wash from the UK on this model.  I had some success with Flory Wash on a 1/48th scale Sherman, so I have high hopes for it here.  It is a clay based wash with easy water cleanup.

Weathering will commence as soon as I post this entry.
