Hi Hellbent 11
My 11/6 trumpeter T34 42 is almost ready for paint,after much deliberation I'm going for Humbrol OD 155 then a coat of Vallejo air Russian green 017,then a futher coat of Russian green with a touch of white to lighten.
Then I'm going to use Mig productions pigments,Allied green (fading) P036.
I used this on the main gun assembley as was quite pleased with the result ,I'll try and get a pic on later
Hope this helps
Andy

not a great pic ,sorry!!

Really nice gun! The paint has a lot of depth to it. It looks like it's really been through service. I weint with the MM enamel "Russian Armor Green" since that was what the local shop had. What do you think?

Forgot to ask before! What was the color of the interior on a T34/41? The Russians had everything green right?

Hi Bud,
T34's were white inside,have a look in my gallery theres a few pics that maybe able to help you.
As for MM paints ,I cant comment as I've never used them.
Hope this helps
