I found it in a hobby lobby store or find it near your local hobby shop. Some black and white paint is all you really need for the model. Maybe with a hint of blue for preference.
Love the channel and l am impressed with your modelling skills but on this particular model l think you over did the writing on the model and should have done less as it overwelms the vehicle . Also l feel the weathering and washes were overdone also as l preferred the effect you got after the first couple of black washes . My opinion only and an observation more than a criticism . That said it still turned out nicely .
Only just discovered your channel . As an AFV modeller myself l was most impressed by your modelling and diorama building skills especially in such a small scale as !/72 . l have subscribed .
l hate individual track links in 1/72 . Why can't Revell and others mould the tracks / running gear in one piece plastic ? The tedious , boring and sometimes stressful assembly ruins what is mostly an enjoyable build . That said a well constructed model and a excellent paint job .
I’ve never used an airbrush. But I want to eventually give it a shot for more efficient painting. But I will always stick to and enjoy brush painting my models. :-)
One of the best tutorials i saw, very clear and great techniques. Also i really like that you use simple things (no airbrush,etc) and it looks that great
It depends on how large of a surface you’re painting. I’d recommend thinning the more large flat areas. Chipping feels easier to paint when it’s a bit thicker.
Hi, I’d be interested in seeing a portion of your brushing in real time to see your technique, if you’d be willing (stroke direction, brush tip use, etc.) prior to the sped-up sequence. I plan to use your tips painting this little kit soon-thanks for sharing!
Just a small tip for anyone out there whos new to painting any resin vehicles (plastic too, works well too), as there are so many more 3d printed models available , The recommended steps are to wash with soapy water before applying paint but ive been painting resin and plastic models for years now and if you want to save yourself quite a bit of work just use an enamel base paint as your primer. Enamel bonds much better than any acrylic based paint amd you can paint acrylic on top with no problem. I have found enamel paint to be a much tougher , more resistant to scratches base than my best washed and scrubbed with soap attempts with acrylic primer. I put it down to the unique way enamels bond to the models. Its even great for painting metal parts such as white metal figures etc Just thought id pass on the tip. (I use the humbrol pots and i even thin them down a little for easier and greater coverage. Even a very thin enamel coating gives you a solid base to work on top of. Ill leave it to you to work out how far you can thin it but honestly youll be suprised how good it is and its a super fast way to prime your model. I literally slap on the thinned coating and let it dry thoroughly and its done, ready for paint, no fiddly washing and worrying your paint might not bond)
@@Modkits131 alright, thanks man. Would it be a better option than soap due to the fact it evaporates a tad faster therefore leaving no residue, or no? Just kinda concerned the soap would leave some kind of small film on the paint
@mentalillnessconnoisseur6260 It is a bit better than soap because of the flow it gives to paint. I just prefer soap and water because it’s usually easier to remove, if done properly.
I built the Israeli version supplied in this kit but the problem is the kits details are way to thick. Like the headlight guards and other rails. You would make this a lot better by buying a eduard photo etch t-55 set to get rid of the ugly thick parts. I also replaced the machine guns with some legend productions guns and the miniart T-55 working tracks (which are worth the $12, cheap!) which reallly made it look much better
