Hey,

I would like to present you result of my work on Tamiya kit.
My vision was to build it as used somewhere at Middle East by unspecified holder.










Here you can find few pics from workbench.

Excellent job you've made on this old dog!

Congrats indeed!

Very Nice T-62. I really like the replacement fuel tank and the general weathering.

Happy Modelling, -zon

Very nice T-62 man. Well done!

Gary

Lovely!

First of all well done on making a nice looking Tamiya
T-62. Secondly how did you create the chipping on the front glaisis. Also what brand of tracks did you use.
Thanks
Euan

Yes, how did you manage to do it? It looks incredibly convincing. Did you use the hairspray technique?

Yes I must say the chipping does look particularly good. The overrall look of the model is very nicely cone- the bent fenders, colored un-ditching beam, mis-matched fuel tank, the old bucket and the MG cover- it all adds up to a very satisfying look. The weathering is also nice considered.

wow, makes me throw some paint on my old dog,build but not painted!

this one really looks great, it's a dog of a model, but you made it look the part!

Thanks a lot guys. Your posts motivate me for more

Yes, for all chipping I used hairspray technique. Only bucket with brush.

What colors have you used? they look incredibly close to the actual ones

For brown colour I used Tamiya X-9 as first layer. Second, placed as spots, mixed with a bit of black, third placed as second but with a bit of red.

Green is Tamiya XF-58, first higlights are mix with Gunze H4, second with H4 and Tamiya XF-2.

For dusting Gunze H79.

In first post I put link with WiP pics, there are shown phases of this painting.

I am doin the same kit. I like how you covered the DSHK.
Is that the original turret? Very nice work.

John

Thanks,

John, its original turret with corrected front.

Euan, I used oryginal tracks by Tamiya. They are really good quality.

Thanks

That looks a beauty.

I had always heard Tamiya's T-62 was a dog but you have made it look fantastic.

Yup, it's not what you have, it's what you do with it that counts. Excellent work.

Once again, thanks a lot guys !
