Thanks DJ !!!

I've used Vallejo Model Air and the color is Russian Green with a hint
of Mud Brown which I also gave the tank a light misting with...

Great job. Very impressive - especially considering the scale.

Did British tanks paint the inside of the hatches white? Were they not the same colour as the exterior?

Thanks for sharing

Thanks Jesper!!!

You are absolutely correct about the hatches!!!

They were the same color as the exterior but due to the lack
of reference material and since this tank is in russian service
I was very unsure so I chose the white color for the hatches
which I later learned was wrong... But I think it brings a nice
contrast to the tank

Regards and thanks for the comment!!!
