DennisTennant Posted April 23, 2014 Report Posted April 23, 2014 I put a lot of extra effort into adding details that weren't part of the original kit. Rougher weld beads added, handles added to external gas tanks, periscope added to commander's hatch, scratched tow cable on rear deck as well as other bits and pieces of plastic added throughout. More weathering to come but it's basically 95% done.
ghodges Posted April 23, 2014 Report Posted April 23, 2014 Another sweet Soviet heavy Dennis! Did you paint the turret markings? GIL
DennisTennant Posted April 23, 2014 Author Report Posted April 23, 2014 Thanks Gil. I painted the striping, not the numerals. I opted for a "sloppier" look instead of the nice, straight lines provided by the Tamiya decals. I absolutely fell in love with the Mr. Softer/Mr. Setter line of decal setting solutions. Works much better with the thicker decals a'la Tamiya, Hasegawa.
John Heck Posted April 24, 2014 Report Posted April 24, 2014 Where's the like button? Are the white stripes done with a brush as they appear?
aAzZ09 Posted April 24, 2014 Report Posted April 24, 2014 Way to go, Dennis! You armor guys are something else! Mark
DennisTennant Posted April 24, 2014 Author Report Posted April 24, 2014 John, Yes, the stripes were hand painted with a wide, flat brush. Just like the real thing.
BryanKrueger Posted April 24, 2014 Report Posted April 24, 2014 Nice. I've seen this kit at my LHS. Are the tracks link and length?
DennisTennant Posted April 24, 2014 Author Report Posted April 24, 2014 Bryan, Yep, link and length. Follow the instructions EXACTLY for a perfect fit.
