As Herman Bix has said "You are not allowed to post photos of real tanks" Fantastic detail. Wow.

Some more progress on the T-55
I decided to do a representation of a Syrian Army T-54/T-55 used during the Arab Israeli Wars.
The decals are from Elite Armor®

WoW!!! 
How long did it take to chip that?
Nice work BTW did you use sponge, hairspray or latex mask? Or all of the above?

Re: Hooben T-55A Build
Thanks Herr Dr. Professor, Pavel & MrChef
The chipping was applied using a sponge & also a very small paint brush, it’s fairly quick to do using the sponge method.
