Hi all!
Finally I was able to finish this project. Painting was done with Acrylic colors from Vallejo and weathering with various products from AK Interactive and Oils from Abteilung 502.
The vehicle itself is finished but Im looking to add something into the turret bins and maybe place it on a small base,
Here´s the link to the unfinished model:

I hope you like it.
All the best,
Andreas

Stunning and thanks for sharing! Small comment, the dried mud on the roadwheels does not match with the darker (cleaner) tracks? Maybe add some lighter dust on the tracks to blend it in with the roadwheels?

Steven, Rob and Jurjen,
thank you very much for your nice comments, I really appreciate it. Jurjen, I will give your idea definitely a try when building the base for the model to blend all together! Good observation.
All the best,
Andreas

Great work Andreas! Can just repeat what others have said above. Very inspiring build!
I have the Verlinden upper hull 90% glued to a Tamiya hull but when it comes to the rear hull plate the instructions kind of sucks. Would you mind taking a photo of the rear of your model. Might help me get the placement of the parts.

Andreas- this is a superbly well finished model. The open turret bins and inner hatch on the turret provide some excellent detail and a bit of character- as does the colorful flag. The dented/warped missile shields and the missing front fenders draw the eye instantly to those areas, especially the missing fenders as they show off the nicely weathered and dirty tracks. The camouflage scheme is excellent and in conjunction with the various layers of weathering it works really well- there's certainly plenty to see on this build no matter what angle you see it from. Really excellent work.
Can I just ask what your weathering process was and what products you used?

Erik and Karl,
thank you too for your nice comments. Erik I had some issues to with the rear, as the Verlinden hull seemed to be 1-2mm to short. Iw ill try to snap a pic of the back of my model, no prob.
Karl I weathered like this:
After the painting I first applied chips with light green, the lightest color from the AK Inetractive 4BO modulation set. Then I used a wash from AK Interactive - Light rust. It was applied more like a filter. This was followed by another wash from AK - Dark Brown. BEfore application of the washes the area´s where covered with white spirit so the wash has no grip on the surface and stick around the details.
The dirt on the vehicle/tracks is a mix of MIG pigments. I used P232 Dry Mud, mixed with a little P038 African Earth and P034 Russian Earth. This was then mixed with acrylic resin from MIG and applied with an old brush. The dry/light mud is P027 Light dust. After that I used a bit of MIG´s pigment fixer. For the tracks I did not use the acrylic resin.
The dust on the vehicle was done with oils from Abteilung 502, Nr 035 Buff.
For the dust streaks on the turret I used AK Interactive "Rainmarks for NATO tanks". With this produkt I applied vertical lines and thos lines where later stumped with a flat brush with white spirit.
last but not least I used AK´s "Wet Effects Fluid" mixed with AK´s "Dark brown wash" to simulate the grime and diesel dots.
Sry for the bad english, I just hope you get what I mean.
All the best,
Andreas

Hello Andreas,
zdravo zemo,
I am speechless. I've already seen a lot of models here at Armorama and built T-72, but this model breaks many standards. Implemented absolutely realistic and vivid.
I never thought that my resin tower will look so good and I feel more than honored that you've made it into something wonderful.
Andreas, you have my greatest admiration.
