Thank you for taking your time and effort to do this for others. What a great way to promote the hobby to newcomers and others who haven't hopped the fence yet.

Maybe the video should have a warning that once you start, it becomes a snowball rolling down a steep slippery slope.

I also tried to coat it clear flat, and it totally messed up the finish. I tried to do windows, and the acrylic I bought will not snap easily after scoring it. So I am using a dremel to shape every window.

I wish I could make this thing look as nice.

On a side note, I found out that mineral spirits will not destroy the plastic or the factory paint; however, acetone will.

I have an Abrams, Leopard, Challenger, all three in HengLong NATO camouflage, a T90, T72, as well as both versions of the Chinese ZTZs. Even with just a bit of care and weathering, the group would make a great shelf load with occasional trips around the house.
