Big_Bad_Bill Posted July 10, 2022 Share Posted July 10, 2022 Folks, I've finished the BMPT and Tim is happy for me to publish the RFI. I hope you enjoy it. The WiP is here It was a fun build although copying the camouflage and getting modulation got a bit tedious. Tim wanted it dusty, which does kind of go with the paint scheme. The paints were a mixture of Mig and Tamiya. The Mig expo paint set was totally off (for this scheme anyways). I used the Mig Warm Sand for the desert yellow and NATO Brown for the dark red/brown. The dark sand I mixed Tamiya XF-59 and XF-72 until it looked right, because it was what I had to hand. I used Quick Shine for the gloss coat, Mig desert wash for the pin wash, Vallejo Matt varnish and finished with Mig dust pigment and thinners to stabilise.

Milan Mynar Posted July 10, 2022 Share Posted July 10, 2022 I have to buy and build this kit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big_Bad_Bill Posted July 10, 2022 Author Share Posted July 10, 2022 It's a nice kit and cheaper than the Meng version, although it's the wrong version if you want a "Z" one. I would advise using the Meng instructions for a painting guide - the Zvesda ones are black and white and only show two elevations whereas Meng's are full colour and all five.
