Couldnt resist the big gun barrel!
Lovely kit dating from 2002 - kit barrel is good as well with some minor seam work.
I was keen to try out chipping fluid and this seemed a suitable model. Bit of relative lack of control in forming the chips/scratches - Ammo heavy chipping fluid as used on top of the 'rusty hulk' (C310 and XF9) base layers, but should probably have applied a gloss coat to the rust layers first.
Camo coats (XF67 & XF69) were thinned with Tamiya X20-A and chipped within a couple of hours. Filter and clear coat applied ready before weathering.
Stowage from Accurate Armour added to the turret rack.
Third model in my Project Battlefield - UKr crew shooting range training somewhere in the wheat fields of central Ukraine...
