AAVP7 A-1 Ram/RS

This is Dragon's AAVP7 A-1 Ram/RS.  It is 1/72nd scale.  I had built and painted it some time ago, but never finished it.  So here we go:

The first step I used in the finishing process began with artist oil washes, then dry brushing, followed by weathering with powders, and finally slight coloring with artist pencils mostly on the stowage.  Then headlights, tail lights and vision ports were painted and hit with a dab of Future to simulate lenses.  And of course, in the end, the AAVP7 gets a flat coat of Dullcote.

All done with Tamiya and Gunze Sangyo paints.

Modeled after a picture I saw of an AAVP7 of the 1st Marine Division, Baghdad, 2003
