Brilliant paint job Dave.
I'm going to be painting my ZSL-92 in Chinese tri-tone so I have a couple questions for you:
Did you paint freehand?
What colors did you use?

KARL187

Thank guy's I'm glad that you like the paint Karl the pain job was done with a airbrush using Tamiya paints flat green xf-5,blqack green xf-27, and desert yellow xf-56 i was going to use buff xf-57 but like the desert yellow better i'm thing when i do my zsl -92a that i might lighten up the desert yellow a bit. Jeff can;t wait to see how your ztz comes out thanks again guys hope to get back to finshing the paint this week more pic to follow dave

Thanks for that info Dave.

The painting instructions for the ZSL-92 indicate XF-59 Desert Yellow but to my eye XF-60 Dark Yellow looks like a better match. I'll probably darken it down with some XF-59 though.

Oustanding paint job Dave! I might have to add one of those kits to my collection!

Ok guys got ever thing painted and sealed hope to start weathering his week












thanks dave

Looking good Dave.

Any thoughts as to how you are going to weather it?

Ok you'll I think that I'm done had to stay up last night so I finshed up the build. the weathering was started with a wash of raw umber and then finshed up with Mig pigments African earth with a little bit of light dust mixed in hope you like it


























thanks dave

even we are impressed!!! nina and lee (coworkers of dave's from the er) - looking at this on his login - we are not members

Nice subtle weathering Dave. I wish there were more easily avaliable pictures of PLA vehicles showing them training and getting really muddy. There are so many different climates and terrain changes in China that basically all types of weathering would be accurate, but it would be nice to see some pictures of them. I guess thats them there commies for ya!

(Just one thing- there are some light fingerprints around the armor blocks on the turret. I find a bit of light brushing with a soft, flat brush usually sorts them.)

Thanks Karl will do! Did you fined the lav-150 pic any help with your tires?
Dave

Yeap, found it! I have several ways to tackle them now, and I have a couple of spare vinyls I plan to practice various techniques on before I tackle the actual kit ones. Hopefully I should get started painting the model today!!
