To add my .02 as Im painting em two - good points on adding the
red/orange to gieve the thing some color. ALso I cut a few SM in half
and stuck them on the hatch opening and added wire arials (sp?) for cmd
vehicles. Also used a brown/red wash on the tracks to get a rust
effect. Im now looking at 2 T hawks assembled and overall dk green
trying to get inspired.

My opinions are my own. My employer know nothing about it.
