Privet, Armorama!

I want to presnet to you my latest work.It's a Finnish Assault Gun BT-42 from Tamiya. Model was build it "as is", out of box. Painted with tamiya's acrylics, weathered by AK, MiG and Wilder's products. Work at this model bring me a lot of fun.







From Russia with Love,
Vyacheslav.

The weathering looks fantastic; the tow cables are could use some color/wear but otherwise it's a very solid build. Welcome to the site, Simonov.

Don't worry about your English at any rate, it's just as good, if not better than most primary English speakers on here (or online for that matter).

I'm looking forward to seeing more of your builds in the future.

VERY COOL, Friend!

And how timely does something get!

I'm doing this BT-42 kit for the Armorama "Unter Falsche Flagg" campaign! And exactly the same paint-scheme I'm currently working up for this kit!

Very nice job and very inspirational!

So... what exact colors did you use? I was thinking of using Testor's Russian Armor green for the base coat, and some middle brown and some gray+sand or tan or maybe a neutral gray for the other colors... but... What you have looks super good!

Nice Job!

Bob
