It's a model which I built 2 month ago. It's my first trial with the hairspray technique. Iused an old tamiya kit for this trial which is easy to assemble. Hope you like it. All comments are wellcome. Thank you all. (I hope this topic is in the right forum,if not please warn me,oh I'm such a rookie )

Very nice whitewash,textured mud looks good also,thanks for sharing.

HI Tolga
Looks great...even for a russian tank Just kidding, I love the white wash.

Thank you Anthony,
Thank you Jacob.
The strange thing is: a russian tank looks better as it gets older and dirtier?(at least for me)

I agree on your comment about Russian tanks looking better as they age. Well done on the whitewash and weathering

thank you Jeremy

Very nice overall, just the spare track links look brand new compared to the rest of the vehicle.

That looks great. would never have guessed it wsas your first attempt!

I am yet to try a whitewash or use the hairspray technique so am interested in knowing what lessons you leanrt, what was easier than you thought it would be and what was harder and finally what you would do differently next time?

Agree 100%... Russian tanks need to look old and beaten up!

Thank you Timothy,about the spare tracks Icould't make a desicion about rusting them or not. But you are right, may be some drybrushing can do the job..

Von marshall,thank you very much. About hairspray technique the first and most important thing to say is: Don't use it too much,and don't apply it from a close distance! At my first trial I applied it from approximately 10-15 cm to the bottom of the tank and it removed all the paint! After correcting there,I applied it from 35-40 cm.and as a 'mist' (I hope it is the right word for this). The spray should 'land' smoothly on the model,it must not flow. When it dried,I applied white paint. And when the paint got dried,the fun part came:I washed the model under flowing water with a thoothbrush. I recommend a small one. This part was easier than I expected. But removing paint in small areas looks better,the only thing I would like to change is to remove the paint not as large areas but small and multiple areas.
As a conclusion this technique is effective andeasy,all it needs is a little bit attention and courage.
Hope we can see your successfull performance.
