Thanks!

I would be interested if I didnt have to do the digital camo

You mean export vt-4 tank

Not an expert myself but boxart says VT2, and according to wikipedia -which is the fastest checking place although not always the most reliable- the VT-4 is the export version of the ZTZ99

Interesting, though the digital camo is pause-inducing.

Aah yes i see, my mistake

Any alternatives to digicam?

Meng has a Youtube clip of the new kit

Masks or decals for the digicam would be nice.

Reverse masking is the way to go and the voyager Masker Easycutting Jig 2 is the tool. I used this for the digi cam on my ZTZ-99A. Time consuming? Yes. Worth it? Yes.

Hi Guys;

FYI there is another AM/PE set for making the Digital camo; its A two (2) set fret and has the cut forms already in the PE. One set is for the larger pattern, and the second is for the smaller pattern. I think they are made in China, and I have not seen them lately on ebay.

CHEERS; MIKE.

Mike, I think you are referring to the Voyager PE paint mask?

PLA AFV digital camouflage masking stencil

Hi Guys;

Tony;) Yea--I have seen the Voyager set; But there is another set that I mentioned, I can't remember who made them. If I can find them again, I will post the Info; !!

CHEERS; MIKE.

Masking tape, steel rule, sharp knife, clean cutting mat, tweezers.

Tank may not be as big, but the camo required for this kit is not that different to this one.

There are also at least some photos of what appears to be this tank, I believe, in another camo scheme:

Hi Guys;

I have also found the set made by DN Models, so this makes Three set's that can be used for the Digi; camo;
There are so many Color schemes for the camo; it makes the color choice very Interesting !

CHEERS; MIKE.

Mike, I should correctly say the Voyager product is a PE stencil which can be used multiple times. The DN Models (from Bulgaria) is a one time use mask. I found it on ebay. DN Models item #827-032 designed for the ZTZ-99 tanks

I went to one of those scrap-booking stores and found small rectangular stickers that make painting digital pretty easy. Paint the base, stick some in the pattern you want, spray the next color, and so on. Just be sure to stick them to your finger a couple times to reduce the tack
