Very nicely done. I really like the expression on the tanker's face in the first pic.

Real nice build of a older kit Coca, the white camo & dirty lower hull looks good. Some times Building a older kit out of the box is fun & relaxing. my favorit kit out of the box is italeri's sherman recovery vehicle

Gday coca
Have to agree with the others that the figure is good for a kit issue! Love the pose, and he seems well painted. It epitomises the Russian mood of the time...
The weathering looks the part, and overall, the rust blending with the whitewash is effective
Cheers

WOW OUTSTANDING
I love this,that 1st pic...the figure, stunning!!!
How do you get that worn paint effect?,I like the diesel spillage from the right hand tank,down the rear fender
Just one small thing I think the oil leaking from the rear transmission cover is a wee bit on the heavy side
Stunning job Coca

Hi Coca,
Your model is impressive and your pictures are equally impressive as well....
How did you take those pictures ?
And the other questions is....how do you do a snow wash.....what is the color mix ? I have never done a snow wash vehicle and it looks really good.....

Greetings guys, many....many....many thanks for the comments and compliments.
As for mlkado, I used Nikon digital camera to take the pictures.
As for the white washes, all you have to do is diluted the white paint, cover the area layers after layers until the desired result you want.
Hope will held

Looks very nice Coca. To me the black background, while dramatic, makes the pics a little too Film Noir for me. Also I think you may have over done the black oily streaks from the transmission hatch and spare fuel tank on the right rear. Excellant white wash!

This is some fantastic work! Sheer brilliance! About the white washes though, it looks like you airbrushed 'em, is this right?
