DBoger Posted August 1, 2011 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RGronovius Posted August 1, 2011 Report Share 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 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pappy Posted August 4, 2011 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
