WW2 UNIVERSAL CARRIER AND TRUCK update

Here we have a Perry Miniatures Universal Carrier and a diecast Lledo truck. 

The truck I purchased off ebay for the bargain price of £1.25 plus £3 postage.

I have put the vehicle next to a Perry Miniatures 28mm figure to give you an idea of scale, it would be probably be a little small if using with the larger 28 - 30mm figures. 

I wanted to keep the transfers that were already on the truck, so I was unable to prime and repaint the vehicle. Instead I just repainted the canopy, tyres and lights, then gave it some washes and weathering.

     

Painting vehicles is new to me so I have been experimenting on some of my son's old diecast toys and buying a few bits on ebay, as spending £20 on a new tank and then ruining it with the paint job is not good. 

I also don't have the luxury of owning a spray gun for painting so I am limited to using spray cans and brushing. I did these with a black primer, then used the spray and a brush. I am not sure about the brushing, so my next attempt I will use a white primer, then the spray colour, followed by washes and weathering to hopefully give it depth.

      

I will have to do a little research on markings for WW2 vehicles so that I can finish the Perry Miniatures universal carrier off.
