BryanKrueger Posted June 24, 2019 Report Share Posted June 24, 2019 Well SMK my ass! Built mostly OOB. I didn't like the fender stowage wooden boxes and tools so I added boxes from the spares. Easy build. I worked on and off for about 5 weeks in between other projects. Wads of blue tack mask the wheel mounts. I always have better luck with gluing tracks to wheels at the start. When I leave rigid plastic tracks off and try to install last, I always run into fit issues because of paint layer build up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RGronovius Posted June 24, 2019 Report Share Posted June 24, 2019 what an interesting and odd looking tank. Did this exist or was it a paper panzer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BryanKrueger Posted June 24, 2019 Author Report Share Posted June 24, 2019 One was built. Immobilized by a mine during trials against Finland. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SMK_tank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BryanKrueger Posted July 15, 2019 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2019 Paint applied to the SMK. All paints are AK real Color. The distressed mottled paint effect was created with the hairspray technique. I used Montex masks for the markings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RGronovius Posted July 16, 2019 Report Share Posted July 16, 2019 Looks good, the scheme resembles the Cold War US MERDC pattern. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just need to add some light buff patches to complete the look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BryanKrueger Posted August 5, 2019 Author Report Share Posted August 5, 2019 Thanks Dennis! I've had some fun weathering the past couple of weeks. Filters, chipping, speckles and pigments. Still needs some additional effects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
