How are you going to attach those terrible rubber tracks?

Ingo F
Thats a very good question Dave. 😄 I think i will stuff the free space with tissues or something else.

thanks! this model is more detailed than I thought

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

Ingo F
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.

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

Ingo F
The soviet one. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guards_unit

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

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

Ingo F
Thanks Sven. It was Russian Green Base (ZiS 508 ) from A.MIG Nr. 932.

Sven Schönyan
Thanks for the info Ingo! Just it was a Tamiya colour as there is a bottle of green paint in one of the pictures. I thought if using XF58 for my soviet cold war tanks but mostly the get Mr. Hobby H340..

Ingo F
Sorry my mistake. I used the bottle only for scale comparison.
