That's an excellent looking build John.
Hello mate. Great to see you at the bench. Nothing like a nice bit of 4BO to get the juices going. Good luck with the running gear mate. I hope it all comes together for you. Take care and speak soon
Looking good John. Must do a T34 myself one day…..such an iconic vehicle.
Looking good with that fine paint job.
Thank you Darian.
Many thanks Joe, have a go .
Hi mate, yes, enjoying it a lot.
You'll love it;they are, indeed, Tim. Thanks for the comment.
Thanks Jim.
Ahh 4B0!!
There is no other Bob !
Well had a bit of a set back, I'd sprayed the T34 in Tamiya XF paint, done the sealer coat of varnish , applied a coat off AK heavy chipping then used a Vallejo white for the winter wash.
All good I thought, the chipping went well and removal the bulk of the white with water went to plan. Left over night and ----------------, the white had turned a pale blue !!!!!.
Upon checking the Vallejo Acrylic had reacted with the Tamiya XF paint, even though it was covered with a coat of Tamiya varnish.
So into the IPA I'd used before to soak a previous model and took all the remaining white off, along with hatch covers, exhausts and the hull!
Now left with several bits of T34, why not do the hull with weathering powders ? So applied a thin coat of the clear adhesive for the powders and carefully applied the powder. Left that to dry, came in a did the decals on the turret in the kitchen.
Can see fitting the road wheels and the Fruils tracks a lot easier this way-------- hopefully.
Have on order some Tamiya paints for the winter wash and the base , so they should be here tomorrow.Then a spray with the AK chipping fluid , followed by the winter wash. Success or failure, we will see .

A set back John, but sounds like you have it in hand
Missed this somehow!
Possibly the Tamiya wasn’t quite dry when you put the Vallejo on it John. Lacquer paints take a day or two to fully cure in my experience.
