Hi at all

I'm new in this hobby an i'm new on armorama so i want to show you my first kit. it's an Revell T-72 with EDZ in 1:35. In the future he will be part of an diorama. With this kit i do my first steps with airbrushing, weathering, drybrushing, chiping and so on. So i'm a newbe. I do the complett paintjob with LifeColor paints. Pleas feel free to give me good tips.





















I think he is 99% done. only the MG at the turret is under construction

Hello. A good tank. I do not understand the inscriptions on the barrel and the body of the tank?
Прис - a town in the Tskhinvali region / South Ossetia. Written in Russian letters, Cyrillic, writing words on the Georgian language is quite different.
Who owns the tank, Ossetian and Russian side, or may Georgian?
There are documentary photos of this particular tank with such an inscription?

I think this tank belongs to South Ossetia, pay attention to the Russian flag on the building. Interesting photos.

Hello Olegas. your are right this are two interesting pictures. They are the one and only that i have found with an T-72 with incriptions on the stowage boxes.
I found a lot of BMT-2 pics where the BMP is all over incriptions but no T-72.

@all pleas tell me what i can do better on my paintjob. if you want i can post some more pics.
