Here's an interior shot of a tanker loading. An some more photos of those tow horn rigs. and some of the under belly.


Here on the under belly you can see three(3) things I had to add.


Here's the fully under body look.






I'm stoping at this primered point so I can look in to just how I'm going to do a realy good paint and weathering job.


I'll be back with more primed photos later.

Work in progress on my Zvezda BTR-80 Chechnya the siege of Grozny 1999-2000.

el magnifico, that's a very nice BTR you've got there!

Can I ask you what did you use to make it look so dirty? What is the white substance on it on the last photo?

I also have a Zvezda BTR-80A model, and I'm at the stage where I need to start painting, but I'm new to it, so any advice on how to achieve a realistic look (painting, weathering) would be awesome!

hi!

Thank you! Köszi!

The weathering was done with tamiya earth mixed with various pigments, MIG productions rusian earth, light dust, and some other manufacturers mud, and dry mud. after this the whole mud was washed with artist oils (earth tones like the pigments) the splashes where created with pigments blowen out from the brush.

The white (light grey) stuff you asked, is revell plasto mixed with sand, deluted with revell glue. It is called premuding and it helps to create more deep texture to the mud at the weathering stage.

Great BTR, did you use the Eduard PE?

[el_magnífico]

yes, as far as I know it is the only PE set yet.

The Academy M-18's rear hull plate is all wrong with it's angle of curvature and the rear decking has issues. Without a major rebuild you'll have accept them as is

is it more authenticity issue or horrible hit?

Experiments with AFV Club's Sturmmorser Tiger - hand painted camo, that was
then mostly covered by what has started out as crushed brick/concrete but
ended up looking like winter white-wash (or both in places):











Really hate rubber tracks!
