Anti reflective coating

Post by cupoftea »

I would be extremely grateful for some advice on how best to simulate anti-reflective coating on modern tank optics. At the moment am just using the stickers supplied by heng long for the optics on my leopard 2a6 but would sure like to improve the look.

Many thanks for any advice.

I painted the inside of the plastic with Tamiya clear colours. For the optical devices themselves sequins can be used. There are some pictures of the result in my Leo2 build thread.

One of my fall back sites is

Going there first saves an awful lot of aggravation simply because it is usually sold by these very helpful people :thumbup: shaun
I think I am about to upset someone :haha:
