I use this for filler.....paint gets scratched, green is better imo.....



I get most of my card from pearl paints on rt17 nj....its a arts and crafts store.....cheeper than most hobby shops.

I like this t44...I think it is a "b" but my soviet tank kungfu is weak....

As for scratch build?....I would just get a t55 tank for the hull and a profline kv85 kit for the turret and you just have to worry about the details....imo
