F.O.V in Disguise...... (1 Viewer)

[maddadicus]

I recent purchased a F.O.V. Stuart, and finding it ,the same size as K/C's version, decided to K/C it in paint scheme and " detail ".........Attached are photos of the conversion..Will probably add more stowage ,which is a K/C trademark.....Michael

The tank with the sand bags is that the FOV Tank?

Yes, it is.............I found a close enough color to the K/C green and got the sandbags from a model kit...........The closeness in color does not show well in the photos....The paint used was satin finish originally, but everytime I use the matte finish spray to dull these down, it really fades the original color. What matte finish spray are you painters now using.?.............that will keep the original color fresh?...Michael

Wow. Nice job Mad man. I like FOV vehicles. The detail is great and your conversion is fantastic! It kinda looks better than the expensive one. LOL....Nick

Mike, great work, the tracks are the give away, but I like the detail. Now add some leaves and dirt to show camoflage, good ideas. Mike

This repainted F.O.V Stuart is now on Ebay, at a fair price...and without the K/C tanker shown. Has the original tanker....Michael

I did the same thing with my Stuart FOV tank. I added dirt and mud to the tracks and body, and brush and mud to the hedge cutter. a few cables and tarps and supply boxes, and it came out fantastic. It displays so well, that I decided not to buy the K&C Stuart.
