Primer on White and German Gray.
Might be hard to see it is white and Gray
Plus a coat of Tamiya flat to seal it.
Real paint tomorrow.

Ah... That first coat of primer or, maybe basecoat is always my favorite. Looks like a fun build and a nice alternative to the pricey Trumpeter kit.

Thanks to both, not a bad kit just one has to pay attention, to the parts, some have real delicate attachment points.
And they did leave out the two handles shown in the instructions on the kit, but never mention putting them on.Reason why no weathering most Russian ones are pretty dang clean, as no war so a lot of free time for painting, unlike say a T-34 in WW II days.Plus the May Day Parade,all nice and shinny.It does kind of cry out for some filters, pin washes, but that as the size, and amount of areas be longer then building it. And those little white spots are dust, I brushed it off but as to time of the year, any dust speck gets attracted to models. LOL
