I agree, (like anyone cares )

a very nice job. I see that no all areas are dusty, like under the turret. Dust gets everywhere, so you might add some on those place. It looks like you brused the dirt on and forgot some hard to reach places. Perhaps better to cover the whole vehicle in dust and wipe off the excess. this way the dirt stays in all the corners but the flat surfaces get a bit cleaner. You already achieved this effect on the ridges on the front top side of the hull in front of the drivers hatch. If you keep a piece of paper under it, you don't waste your expensive pigment powder. Use a moist brush to create some rain streaks.

just a small tip.....

Hi Phil and Matthijs
thanks very much for taking time to reply.

I must admit Phil - the Peoples Liberation Army is not my choice subject. Im similar to yourself and ussually depict UKA vehicles and armour. But this little kit really attracted me.

I think also Matthijs you are correct I used filters for first applications of dust and it has not really worked on all areas of the turret so I will attend to that. Also great tip with the piece of paper. I work on newspaper and just keep dipping the brush on the desk trying to get every crumb

thanks again guys.
