Bloody good weathering so far. Wheels look spot on. Nice discolouration and chipping on the paintwork. Lovely job 👌

Thank you. In case anyone is wondering....I mostly use Mr Color Lacquers, usually heavily thinned. Chipping is achieved with Mr Color on a stick and simply applied by drawing across the corners and surfaces. Extra weathering is oils and some artist charcoal. Dusted with light Vallejo pigment. As I've said before, I like the Zvezda kits.... the plastic is easy to work with. Never any flash and the sharpness of detail and fit is second to none. I made the windscreen protection out of copper wire. Seems to me that this was possibly an add on fitted by crews in the field.

The windscreen protection adds much for the realistic appearance of the model.

Window tint is bisic Mr Color clear blue and yellow mixed to create the desired tone. Then thinned 50/50 with Mr leveling thinner and carefully air brushed at low pressure on the reverse side of the glass.
