SORRY ABOUT THAT - my Diva-esque I-phone did not load the pics correctly. I have corrected:
Okey-Dokey here we are with an edition of “how small can ya’ go!” So took some of the tiiiiiny rubber tubing from the Tamiya T-72
And using the Xacto... I split it horizontally. Easy right?
Using the pin you see there I ‘walked’ the split tube off the toothpick & onto the brass rod, then a dab of CA to hold it there!
So she is coming along well. Once I rest my eyes a bit I think I’m gonna add the brackets that hold the tanks and maybe some other writing too. Till then!

Not sure. I have time on my hands, so likely, but not promising. I think I need to find your post of this build in basic green to see where you added them

Dude! You're a madman doing those rubber tubes! That's it, time for me to give up!

So got some time on a nice Saturday and got the hull & turret painted. Hull came out as I wanted:
The turret? Not so much:
I let myself get rushed on the turret, and that is what happens when you do. I think I am going to spray it over again and reset. According to the excellent books "No Victor/No Vanquished", "Never Ending Conflict", and "The Arab-Israeli Wars" the Syrians did not do a good job at maintaining their equipment, so a respray may actually turn out to be very accurate!
Oh well, it is Spring here in SC, so besides the pollen, it is warm enough to paint more regularly, so getting it done will be NBD. 'Till then!

I wouldn't start over, thin your green and get in tight to clean up the overspray and feather the demarks some. Looks like it's splattering too much so that's probably too thick or high pressure.
Looking good.

I agree about the turret. I think it needs thicker green lines on it. That will balance it with the hull. Bob's recommendation for cleaning up the overspray is a good one too.
