Painting the HET Part 1 the M1070
Building this kit is time consuming! You have basically two very large models that join together. To break up the build I decided to paint the prime mover as I undertook construction of the trailer. To paint the interior I decided it best to leave one of the cab side walls off until after I painted and weathered the interior.
Base Paint of Interior
The weathering was done with washes of acrylic paint to impart that dusty lived in look.
Then to give some realism I stacked the interior with supplies and some of the printed miniatures available from my blogspot.

With the interior complete I was able to complete the cab assembly. Then it was time to paint the rig. This took a long time. Its a big model but also very intricate and delicate.
I painted the sub-assemblies separately prior to final assembly.
I used Tamiya acrylics for the US Nato tri-tonal scheme.
Alclad II lacquer was used to give that Radiator a metallic appearance
The scheme was coped out from the instructions painting diagram. I used Iwata HP-C + to freehand the intricate camouflage patterns. This took a long time.
