Just finished my little 1/48 T34/85 from Hobby boss.
This is my very first Soviet armor and coming back after a long lay off from armor models my weathering is a bit rusty.





Figure is from Tamiya.

"...weathering is a bit rusty" LOL (I'm sure there was no pun intended)

Actually, your weathering looks pretty good. Very convincing. The only critique I would make is that your crewmember looks pretty shiny. If you can knock some of the shine off him the whole thing will be totally convincing.

Well done!

Nice results! Definitely has the look of a combat veteran, and the weathering looks fine.

Thanks for all your comments

I know it's not the best I can do but I will treat it as a test model for my other projects.about the figure I did shoot some Mig ammo matt varnish on him but don't think Migs varnish is as good as Vallejo varnish as I had to give the tank a couple of coats and it's still is not dead flat.

Cheers
