I’m curious about it too. I’m a heavy washer, so the effect you get with the magic grime is right up my alley

Agreed Herman that stuff looks the part. A really nice worn and used realistic finish

It works well and allows for error, its very user friendly.

Well now that they are shutting down everything due to this virus I may finally get this tank finished!

The best thing is that it unifies the colors, filters usually do this but its much harder and more time consuming than the Magic Grime.

TURRET BEFORE:

Some things must be reinforced with metal pins, the weight of the mg42 IR scope would cause it to break easily so it must be built with a metal pin. The track will not be glued into place for safer shipment.
