Finishing the Tamiya Universal Carrier Mk.II: Pt III


The kit comes with two Lee Enfeild bolt action rifles, and both are supposed to sit neatly in the rifle rack in the middle of the vehicle, but I decided, since I chose mine to look like an operational vehicle, I decided to add a strap to one and place it in a corner of the Carrier. I took a normal sheet of Tin Foil and cut small, thin strips out of it, and attached it to the places on the rifle where they went on the real gun. I then painted the rifle Burnt Umber and the strap in Tan. The effect was extremely satisfying.
