Build #2: T-55A - Painted
Tamiya acrylics cut about 40/60 with Tamiya lacquer thinner:
Pre shaded with White, Deck Tan & Buff
RAF Cockpit Green:
Olive Green:
Both camo tones post-shaded with lightened versions of the original colour especially on the upper facing surfaces where the Afghan sun would fade the paint the most.
Next... decals.
Have a great rest of the weekend, folks.

Build #2: T-55A - chipped and washed
Some light chipping and scratches followed by a dark brown wash:
First time using Mig's enamel wash - not too impressed as it really does need cutting by another 50% to get the proper consistency for an overall AFV wash. Just my opinion y'all understand, your experience my differ.
Next an oil-dot filter. Have a great weekend folks. Best from New Zealand.

Nice work so far. I would like to see how you dot filter works. I tried it on a F-14 and made a mess. Had to wipe it off. Gary S.

I know others have already said it but the Castro’s drum really puts this on another level, just incredible work!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!’
Star Decals went-on easily...
...snuggled down so easily even over all those myriad equipment hooks on the rear of the turret - very impressed with themSo next, a pin-wash then on with layering the weathering. Stay tuned.
