Hey

Here is my out of the box 1:35 scale T-62MV.
It is the new Trumpeter T-62 ERA (Mod 1972) No. 01556

I used Tamiya paint XF67 Nato green, XF59 Desert Yellow
and XF54 Grey. and Archer dry transfer.

Concerning both builds you have published, fantastic work on the camouflage! And, the markings are well done. I am glad to see that you did not pick out the detail on the dshk. Most people try to take an artistic license, by applying metallic details. This should not be and you are one step ahead.
THE REST OF THIS IS CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM.
If you find you don't like it, don't use it. This is supposed to be fun, above all else.
One thing that I would like to point out, is the tracks. Tracks will not weather, uniformly. You should pick out some of the edges with steel. Also, try varying the pigment or paint you use on them. There are many depths of rust. Perhaps a little new rust along the hinge and old rust around the guide horns. Further, you may want to try giving the kit a wash of dark brown. This will help pick out the details. It is a good idea to apply one or two filters to the kit. This will represent sun damage to the paint. It also adds a layer of what could possibly be dust or dirt.

Which Arab nation use the T-62 MV? Syria?
Got one myself and looking for any interesting paint schemes.

I agree to some degree with retired old yank

clean build, nice camo,and if this where a nearly new vehicle ,very well done
I like'm just that little bit banged up,but that's taste

like posted above, add some filters here and there to the track and the erablocks, to make'm stand out a bit,if that's nolonger possible, don't worry,it looks the part as it is !

Hi Kjeld;

CHEERS; MIKE.

Hey Matt, Hans-Hermann and Tha Pit


I will try to take some out-door photo of my T-62MV,
On the photo i have shown here, my model look to clean,
After paint, it have got a wash of black/brown,
another toned down camo paint, dry-brush with camo colors,
and light sand and silver dry-brush.
The tracks are painted brown, highlight in silver/gunmetal
on inside, topside got MIG pigments and silver dry-brush.

The problem about out-side photo right now, we have snow
and it is freezing.

My T62MV camo scheme is taken (guessed), from video and still photo from today Syria.

Best regards
