Post by Stokesy44 »

Here are the reveal photos.

Tamiya 1/35 T72, 1992 mould, came with PE and netting for the back deck and rubber hosing for the external fuel drums.

Painted with Ultimate Black Primer then Tamiya acrylics. AK Ultra Matt Varnish then oil filters before an Aqua Gloss coat and a Ultimate Dark Dirt wash.

What a great build. Monotone tanks can sometimes look.... flat. But she looks great. Really impressive build and finish. Top stuff.

Thanks Guys. It was a cracker of a kit to work on. Learned more about filters too, especially how to use the same colour as the base to keep the depth in the colour and how much a gloss will knock the effect back.

I always say it’s nice to see a ‘clean’ tank from time to time rather than a beat up mud bucket, looks fantastic!

That's a cracking result mate :cheers2:

Love the semi-gloss sheen you've left on it, that's awesome!
