DBoger Posted August 1, 2011 Report Posted August 1, 2011 I picked up an old Tamiya Russian t-62a kit for $5.00. My plan is out of box with it with some weathering, but I can't find any good reference pics on the net of the tank in the field. Does anybody have any laying around that they can post here? I want to build it as a cold war tank. Thanks Donnie
RGronovius Posted August 1, 2011 Report Posted August 1, 2011 Not my build, but here is a nicely done one, "pig with lipstick" so to speak. http://hyperscale.com/features/2002/t62jr_1.htm This site has some photos of the real thing. http://www.primeportal.net/the_battlefield_armor.htm Even 20+ years ago, this thing was getting dogged on.
Pappy Posted August 2, 2011 Report Posted August 2, 2011 Hi Donnie, I enjoy building Russian equipment. T62's in Russian hands were 4B0 green over all for the duration of cold war. Testors Russian Green; I don't know what russian tanks this was on it is too blue. Do you like to air brushing in acrilics? Here is a paint formula for 4B0 Testors color. 1) Prime your tank in yellow. 2) Paint in 4B0. 4736 Interior Green 1 bottel Add 4606 Raw Umber 2 eye dropers Mix Well. 3) Spray Testors Semi-gloss over this and you will have a Russin Green T62. Hope this helps, Keith
DBoger Posted August 2, 2011 Author Report Posted August 2, 2011 it sure does, thanks guys, now I wish I could find some good pics of the sucker out in the field.
Pappy Posted August 4, 2011 Report Posted August 4, 2011 Here is a video of T55 / T62 / T64's http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m0UmthizYSc&feature=related I spent 6 years in the Marine Corps. and I see alot of modelers make this mistake. They darken their models with a wash. I have never seen a tank get darker over time only lighter. Hope you enjoy the video. Keith
