paint

there are some spots where i can make out other paint ,but it is almost imposible to see if that was the original paint .
the paint that is on top now was addad by the previous owner ,so it was not used like this by some military forces...

not a five minute job, that one!

[foy1944]

lots of work

4 hours to repaint
3,5 hours "aging" it
but... it was worth doing it ,and also lots of fun !!!
