Paint paint paint! Base of tamiya primer, then dark grey which will act as a metal chip colour when I hairspray over the main colour. Also gave it the mr surfaced treatment!

He might not like the price! I would like to do a crew but haven't figured out what I'll need to kit bash for a realistic IDF tanker.

As a suggestion Tom...if you are not hard set on using your female tank crew for the Kv.... It isn't unusual for the Israelis to have them running their tanks as well
