The same technique that was used at the turret, I also used at the hull.
Ups...I have forgotten to paint the small parts on the rear of the turret.

Let me give the soldier a bit of color. For better handling, I glued this comrade with blue-tack on a little paint can.
On one photo you can already see the shining howitzer. I have treated her with clear lacquer. You can apply the decals easier and avoid silvering.

AS-90D - Modified for desert use. Thermal protection for crew and extra cooling for engine and machinery. Tracks adapted for reduced wear in sandy conditions.

AS-90 "Braveheart" - Basically the AS-90, but fitted with the 52 calibre length gun. This project was terminated due to non-compliant propellant charges.

Haubicoarmata "Krab" - (eng. Howitzer-cannon Crab) Licensed "Braveheart" turret on a K9 Thunder chassis, with modern "Azalia" BMS. Designed and integrated in Poland, by Huta Stalowa Wola and WB Electronics. Two Krab ("Crab") prototypes were built in 2001, and successfully completed all required evaluations and state acceptance trials. Initial serial production started in 2008, with eight units delivered to Polish Land Forces for testing. In 2014 production of Krab chassis was forwarded to Korean Samsung Techwin, which will provide 120 units, replacing Polish build UPG chassis in serial vehicles.

Time for a few filters and washes...
I have pin-washed some edges with european dark earth.
Vents where painted with a black wash and I added some rust-streaks.

On many military vehicles you see flags on the antennas. So at my too.
I have printed me a copy on paper. Then I cut and glued the the flag with wood-glue to the antenna.
As long as the glue is not dried, the paper can be brought into the desired shape.
