A bit of detailing some paint and some heng long electrics if I can pick up some cheap enough and that's about it!

What color are you doing? OD green right? Why not try a rattle can spray paint job? I'd spray paint it before brushing.

Not sure Terry I like the look of the captured German camo ones so I might be going that way.

Take notice...most of the captured versions of the T34 were the early models...it's rare to see this version in German paint

Says the man with anime tank commanders. ;) :haha: Artistic license my friend.

Ed, if you don't want to use tape can you get silly putty? Spray cans can do this, you just need to plan it out and do some masking.
