Thanks! Yes, four-tone splinter. Painting is close to finish, I've uploaded a few pics in the end of this album to start with.

Thanks! I had one of those AB-masks/pre-cuts but it didn't work out for me so I masked by hand. It took a couple of nights but it payed off in the end...it sure exercises your patience!

Yes, I did mine by hand too. The surface of the strv103 is too uneven for masks. Many little pieces of tape is needed to keep spray from getting in under the mask line.
That and that I wanted the exact pattern of an actual tank.. It really pays off in the end!
Looks great!

Thanks! I used all the eduard etch i could get my hands on which complicated things even more when masking. But well worth it I think

Looks great!
Mine is just oob, done many years ago. I was not aware of any photo etch at the time, if it was even issued yet!
