Soviet Armoured Column - Part 2
Hey guys, sorry for the long absence. :(
I've been continuing with my column and am hopefully going to get the BTR-60 and BRDM-2 interiors sprayed soon. Once this is done they will be sealed and the exteriors will be primed. I am still trying to find a reasonably cheap Trumpeter Zil-157. When I've got that bought and built I'll let you know but for now progress is slow. I have however managed to build the other BTR-60 and do the interior of the Totopet. I did'nt make the best job of the interior and am relying on the small windows hiding it. Speaking of windows, I have replaced the kit supplied ones with bits of clear plastic from a blueberry box. The part that is supposed to be the windows is way too thick, scratched and misty. It is just one large slab. Anyway, hope you like it. My old Ural-4320 is standing in to represent the Zil.

1/72 Cromwell T-72
Hey, another small scale feature, its a masterpiece by Cromwell.
At my local IPMS Club there is a very generous man who kindly gave me (I am very grateful) a large number of 1/72/76 plastic and resin kit. Amongst them was the Cromwell T-72. Already primed and dark greened, I was raring to go as the detail is exquisite!
I chose to do it in Czechoslovakian markings regardless of whether they are accurate.
It was so simple to paint it pretty much followed the same pattern as my other Russian, green vehicles. However, I did not spray it, this time I dry brushed several shades of green, each time getting lighter. From there, chips were done the usual Vallejo Olive Green, small details painted lighter green and Mig Abteilung Oil Paints were washed over the tank. Fuel stains were done using guess, Mig Abteilung's Engine Grease.
I still need to sand off the resin casting feet on the tracks, but apart from that, it's pretty much finished.
Thanks
