Trumpeter T-55 BTU Pt:4 Painting Starts

With the main construction complete I started yesterday before drinks on the painting. First up a Flat Black for the primer.
Then a Olive Drab Number 2 for the Soviet Field Green. Thankfully for me the sun has been out so the paint texture was hassle free.
Since the main painting was complete, I then saw no reason not to add the anti ditching log with super glue. I sourced the log (twig) from the garden. Hopefully I am still on track with this as Rich is closing in. As mentioned by Rich, the aux fuel drums do have a nasty line where they are joined together, my application of putty was too light on this side to hide it, so I may try again.

Model on!

  1. Looking good mate!The fuel drums are still out foxing me as well.The "log" is a very nice touch.The green looks a good choice for modern Soviet armour.

    Cheers Rich.
