Soviet Armoured Column - Part 5



Just a wee update before I go to France. From here, progress and updates should be more frequent as I will have far more time and (fingers crossed) sunshine. I, literally 5 mins ago, bought a new airbrush, my first Iwata. I wanted one that had the capability to spray fine lines and panels for a reasonable price. I chose the Neo for Iwata CN.
Anyway, I got the interior of the BRDM-2 almost done and the other vehicle interiors primed with white. Only some final weathering and assembly left to do, then I can seal it, ready for priming.
Halford's Matt White was used as a base upon which selected areas were painted green. Chips were added with Black Grey and Olive Green. The radios were done using various bright colours. To tone back the stark white, I used Vallejo Brown Wash for the first time. This worked perfectly, highly recommended. Once varnished, thinned AK Track Wash was applied followed by some Light Rust and Grease Stains. The rest was fairly standard, brown for the seats and black for the steering wheel etc.
Enjoy
