Foxtrot- Shotgun

Keep this for close encounters.
I've developed a healthy appreciation for Foxtrots.  Used primarily as the Forward Observer specialist for button pushing- they also double as artillery spotters- which is supremely useful for taking out big targets that I just don't want to face.

They are AVA4 in USAriadna and it was time I pushed this AVA to its limit.

Wrist mounted GPS for getting that 10 figure grid reference just right.

I painted her in parallel with the Maverick so was incorporating the lessons on the camouflage on her uniform.

It's turned out quite well!

MBITR for far away things, Combat knife for very close things.
I experimented with various greens trying to get the right look between her webbing, pouches, straps and gloves.  I think it's turned out ok.

Oakleys are mandatory.
The only thing I wasn't all that happy with was the skin.  I just can't seem to get a clean an bright looking face. 

This will require more experimentation.


Final Product.
Until next time.
