Thanks gorby. I have not yet a concept of painting/ageing effects. It was my first attempt building a plastic toy: So lots of trial, lots of error - and tons of fun.

So, exactly the way it should be. 🙂
Pretty decent result for a first effort. Well done. A hint: change the teaser picture in the manage menue to one of your model. It is more interesting that the kits box.

For a first model, that looks very good 🙂 Weathering (adding dirt, faded paint, fuel stains etc.) is a whole subject in itself, but if you look at photos of real tanks, and think about how you could paint what you see there, it's not that hard. You don't need any fancy products for this — just a few different dirt-coloured paints will go a long way. Another good thing is that there really is no such thing as too much weathering 🙂

Appreciate your tips, Jakko - looking forward to try on my next attempt.
