Just thought I'd share!

Not done yet, and still trying to get the ibu2 to recoil properly, got some new digital servos coming to see if it helps

Keeping fingers crossed it works!

Hi!

I airbrushed a mix of 60% tamiya red brown with 40% hull red, then dusted a very dilute coat of tamiya dark yellow, I've not finished them yet, going to spray another dilute coat of flat earth, then stick them back on and spin the tank in concrete to metallise the track tops

With thanks to the great Tankbear I've got my KV working, and I've sprayed the slogans on, my little monkey wanted the stars!

Thanks Tom!

Forgot to put the positive chipping in, and getting mud done tomorrow, then it should be done

Very nice work, mate. I'm impressed with the amount of depth you've been able to create with a single colour and weathering.
