I've just scored from ebay a Radica Sub Assault (as used for TK Binoculars on TK409s website)
Now I will be painting this to complement my Storm Commando, so, should I paint it TK white or TK black?
(And should I weather it, or make it pristine?)

IMHO, it wouldn't make any sense to me for a stealthy black armored trooper to have shiny white binocs. My vote is thrown towards the black. ;)

Weather or not to weather is your choice. If you do choose to weather, just do subtle silver & gray scratches.

heh
I got lucky.
FWIW the pics I've seen of the Radica Tank Assault make it look very similar to the Sub assault (sadly stealth assault looks like the nose of the F117)

And as an aside, the rest of the torch wasn't wasted.
I made myself a custom Lightsaber Hilt.

For SC binocs I was actually thinking about getting one of those kiddies spy binocs and painting it black. They'd fit well in one of the cumberbun pockets.

Just my two credits worth.
