Hello everyone, Here's my third model completion for the year, Takom's T-55AM2B built mostly OOB as a vehicle of the East German Army. Paints used were Colourcoats ARG05 Olivgrun (RAL 6003) for the base colour with Humbrol 67 Tank Grey for the rubber portions of the skirts whilst 53 Gunmetal, 110 Wood Brown and 201 Metallic Black (lenses) were used for the details. Tracks were done using Humbrol 170 Track colour over a Revell 9 Anthracite Grey base, then dry brushed with Humbrol 270003 Polished Steel and 53 Gunmetal. Weathering was done with Humbrol 29 Dark Earth, 32 Dark Grey and 93 Desert Yellow. Apart from the Tamiya primer coat, which was sprayed, it's all done using a brush! The only changes I made to the kit were replacing the kit tow cables for Karaya items and using Mark 1 decals for the NVA insignia. Here's the model alongside the Takom T-55AM I completed two years ago: I find it interesting to see the differences between between Soviet and Czechoslovak produced vehicles as well as the original Soviet upgrade for the T-55 and the Czech-based one the East Germans used. Comments and feedback welcome, Mike.
