Opel Olympia

12 August 2021: Sprues washed, dried, ready to go  

The different parts making up one wheel. There are five to build.  

Try to ensure not missing a part by laying each step out on the instructions. 

Subassemblies completed, internal detail painting completed and sealed in with a semi-gloss coat. Ready for decals, and camo stripes. 

This is the camouflage pattern which I will try and emulate. 

I traced a pattern using a pencil. 

I hand painted the rough pattern following the pencil lines. The word "sloppy" comes to mind. I hope to have captured the same effort which was synonymous with applying paint in 1944.
