1/35 Tamiya T-62A

[glibble]

Hello All,

 

I built this T-62A purely as a painting/weathering exercise. The paint scheme with the Ukrainian flags is entirely fictional.😉

I'm really inexperienced with weathering, so I focused on the following:

Wash, dry brush, fake shadows/highlights - All done with oil paint

Chipping and rust stains - Vallejo acrylics and home made enamel mix

Streaks - Again with oil paint

Dust and mud - Light mist of Tamiya buff, then AK enamels and pigments

Oil stains - Just thick oil paint, but I chickened out this time after seeing huge tide marks 🙁

 

I probably overdid the weathering in some places, but I treat this project as a practice.

Please let me know what you think about the weathering job.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Thanks for watching!

 

Lastly, like they say at the end of movies:

This is a work of fiction. Any similarity to actual tanks, living or dead, or actual events, is purely coincidental and does not represent any political views.

Weathering and attention to detail - exhausts, large fuel tanks and chips look perfect to me! I've got the same kit in the stash and was thinking of a similar tribute, possibility with some of the new Masterbox figures. Great work.

That is a very impressive job. The chipping and rust are just excellent.

I like that. The weathering, chipping and wear and tear has been done subtly and really well. Great work.👍

The paintjob with the weathering effects look very convincing to me.

Great job.  The weathering looks good to me.
