    Hands up who wants to see a Tanker in Deep Bronze Green?

    Been a heck of a lot of work over the last couple of weekends, flatting off the primer and touching up the odd dink and chip that has occurred during fitting.

    Started early this morning with final DA-ing of the last bits

    Got to start somewhere, actually I started on the roof, but this was the most difficult bit, especially with the second coat, trying to spray one side without sticking to the other side.

    Offside looking very shiny.  Paint is still quite wet at the time of the photo, but it was still shining after we had packed up.  Appears to be drying nicely.  Can't wait until tomorrow to unmask it and see how it looks once it is properly dried.

    Well pleased with the days efforts.  Spare wheel carrier can go back on now, along with the tool bin that is currently underneath the thing. Start work on the tank after that
