Hello Gentlemen,
Been awhile since i posted a build thread. Ive been busy with 'Life' stuff and recently had a big move from Mckinney Tx, to Dallas Tx. That took alot outta me.
Ive slowly been working on the Zvezda T-90 and have a few pics of progress to post. Its been a really nice kit so far and no bad issues to report with the kit.....YET!
Heres what i have so far:
Thanks for lookin fellas.

Hello Gentlemen,
I have applied pre-shade & the Base coat (Lifecolor Sandgrau) and went ahead and free handed brown/green Tamiya mix camo.
All comments welcome.

Gary,
That's probably the best representation of this Russian tri-colour camo scheme I have seen on a model.
Looks spot on to me and great progress to date.

Hi, with such a great paint job any tips on how to make sure you get a good coverage in all those tight spaces when you airbrush?

Hello Andrew,
I always spray the nooks and crannies from all angles to get decent coverage before spaying the overall model. Im sure i miss a bit here and there, but it works great for me. I hope that helps.
Thanks for the compliment too Andrew.
Cheers,
Gary

Pete, Andrew - Thanks you guys!
Pinwash and Dullcote applied. I mixed Mig Dark & Mig Brown wash about 60/40 for pinwash. This is the first time ive used Testors Dullcote and i absolutely love it! Nice flat/satin and smooth finish. Didnt even come close to frosting....great stuff fellas!
