Tim’s Trumpeter KV-7 in 1/35

Thread owner
Hi Lee
A very neat build. Even though the plastic and primer are similar colours it is always nice to get a coat of primer on. Hopefully it hasn't shown up any issues.

Thanks Eric (Lee, LOL)…..no issues that I can see, it’s just hard making sure you get full coverage.
 
Sorry Tim. I love the new avatar but I'm sure you didn't need a name change to go with it :hugging-face:

…and now it’s as green as Kermit……

This was just two 4BO shades, dark one from below, normal one from above, followed by an oil paint dry brush using a shade mixed from sap green and titanium white….track has just had a coat of dilute VJ German cam black brown.
Still have to pin wash it, and maybe add some restrained streaking…..the armour plate texture is actually poor spray technique, but it looks OK so I’m leaving it alone. The tank was two weeks old at the trials, so chipping won’t be in evidence…..and the ground was frozen, so no mud……it will get sooty barrels though….
 
Hi Tim
That is a great looking paint job. The various shades do add interest to a plain, slab sided tank.

Thanks Jim. It’s since had a dark green pin wash to bring out the details (such as they are) a little more. That has also darkened it a little overall, making it look a little bless minty :thumb2:
