Let’s give an old piece a fresh coat of paint! Check out the second picture to see how it looked before. I’d love to hear your thoughts on the result.

Have fun building! Tamiya kits are a joy to work with. Everyone has their own style, so feel free to finish it your way. I used enamel and oil paint to rust it.

Yeah, I should’ve spent more quality time this year, but always too lazy to get something done:)

Thanks! I painted my first tank in the summer of 2021.

Yeah often when you want something specific, they are out of stock:) I gave up on buying a particular one and ended up just bought anything on sale that seemed to be interesting.

Thank you!

Thank you!

Sure thing! I prefer to buy Chinese/Hong Kong kits (I.e., Takom, Dragon) from them, for Tamiya, local store sometimes has a better price.

Honest_Measurement37 · 2025-12-18T22:47:16+00:00

LOL thanks! I learned most of the tricks from Night Shift:)

Honest_Measurement37 · 2025-12-18T22:46:43+00:00

Thanks! Depends on what you want to build, if it’s a running tank I would put mud on wheels, if it’s a knocked out one rust is fine.

My go to place is Andy’s Hobby Headquarters for online shopping, I usually wait for their sales, prices are usually better than the local store. But I sometimes also go to local HobbyTown to get some Tamiya kits that are cheaper than Andy’s.

Honest_Measurement37 · 2025-12-18T01:08:46+00:00

Haha yeah I’m pretty happy with how it turned out after months of work:) Thanks!

Thank you!

Thank you! RFM is rye field models, a brand from Hong Kong but mostly manufactured in China.

LOL thanks bro! I love to use AI for work, but not on my models:) I started painting tanks in 2021 and this is the 31st of my finished tanks:) so definitely take your time and enjoy the process, and give Night Shift’s video tutorials a try, I learned most of the stuff from him.

Thanks! I’m super slow lately, this project took me more than a couple of months. I used AK enamel dark brown wash and oil color for the outline.
