Oh yeah rounding the bend now!!!
Another thing I forgot the turret rotation motor and the gun elevation motor needed replacing. This needed everything!!!
Anyhow, added the camo scheme. Ive liked that 113 scheme ever since I started thinking about the pre production turret KT! Almost diverted to the middle scheme but ill save that for the next one
Then tamiya clear coat TS-13 is what I tried this time. I usually use rustoleum matt or satin.
The next step after this was some chipping with a paint brush. The wash used was earth brown by AK. Also did a little panel liner stuff and some graphite pencil for steel effect which I just learned about from watching another modeler. I really like the steel with the pencil.
So thats pretty much it. Every piece was replaced except the shell and road wheels and tracks.
I think its my best work to date! Im very happy with it!
I'll post a few more pics of it done here
