Carius Posted November 19, 2017 Author Share Posted November 19, 2017 (edited) Second fase: Â Paint dried out for a couple of days before I began giving the kit the proper weathering treatment. I gave it different nuances with subtle washes with MIG Neutral Wash, AK 075 NATOÂ and Humbrol 103. My next step was added all tools, side skirts, exhaust pipe, the auxiliary fuel tank and others...

Carius Posted December 17, 2017 Author Share Posted December 17, 2017 Third fase:  The next job was to apply a powdered pigment in some places (Vallejo desert dust). In fact these pigments are really useful for achieving many interesting finishes depending on if they are used dry or wet, mixed with water or thinner. Then, more washes for the oil drips on both sides are painted with NATO AK with and Mig Dark Wash. The periscope glasses were painted with X-9 smoke from Tamiya. I added the antenna, two red flags, two little decals and a spotlight transparent glass (commader's cupola).         6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
