Primed the tank yesterday in black. Base color will be applied today.

Base color is done. Not sure if the pre shading is visible on this photos. Installed the wheels and tracks. Next will be detail painting.
Right now i cant decide which markings should be used. With the decals from the kit you can build two versions: 1. White strip on the hull front and two white strips on the sides of the turret with tank number on the side. 2. Guardian emblem on both sides of the turret, with no other markings.

About decal options; I guess first option is Soviet in Czechoslovakia 1968, but for which country the other option is ?

ah ok, I suggest to select the marking for unit that has seen action and had combat history, more interesting.

Nice clean work! Which colour did you use for the soviet green? XF58?
