Off to a nice neat start with the PE.
Its been tried and tested, it works! So don't blame the system if you're no good. :doh:

Thanks for the info. I find its a bit of a lottery with greens on AFVs so any help is appreciated.

Lovely depth added to the paintwork. Makes the kit look much weightier, like the real thing :clap: :clap:

Weathering on the T-34 is pretty much done—just a few bits left (like the headlight...), and in the meantime I’m working on the figure and the base.
