Good choice of camo to help hide the use of brushes only. Use masking tape for seatbelt harness. Adds a nice touch.

Country: | Les, For bullet holes, I first decide if they're coming or going, what kinda round caused it and are they singular or in a row, so to speak.
I take a sharp pointed exacto knife tip and make a light drilling action with it until the point penetrates the plastic. I can then heat up the knife blade and use it to mold the plastic outward or however is best. And most holes are irregular so I try to keep that in mind without over doing it. But I practice on some scrap plastic or crap Tamiya model until it looks good.
