Your T-55 is looking great, I’ve been following your build & progress, lots of added details & you’ve got the weathering just right.
I’m just starting on my Hooben T-55 build

Thanks Mr Ram, a little bit goes a long way as is said.

Much appreciated Mr 2556, theres more to come too !
I'd like to see your T55 mate, they are great looking models I reckon.

The Print Ninja/Arms Dealer is almost ready to stock me up with stowage for this.
Figures are my next hassle.
Thinking of doing a bit of creative license and using this figure with a new helmet & a bit of sanding to get him more righterer.
Along with the Newcastle Arms Dealer's wares, he should look close enough for this kid

Man...all those parts looks great.

Bix, I am glad to see in the photo to which you linked a tanker of African-American heritage, and well-painted. I remember that some years ago I bought a 1/18 Red Tails P51 Mustang. The pilot came painted as if white. I remember re-painting him with Vallejo paints and finding it satisfying. However, sorry, I don't recall the color mix I used.

There ya go Bix, you're ready to sit round the 1/16 campfire and arm a bunch of rebels to launch a coup in some sweaty backwater banana republic.
