Bill, just a quick tip on painting. Take as much as possible back apart. Know you don't want to hear that! For sure get the barrel back out and take the road/return wheels off. As well as
sprockets. If your going to primer first, especially the metal parts I've had good luck with krylon ruddy brown. As for the more unique russian green everyone will tell you what they had success with, I've even done a base with Tamiya spray lacquer TS-9 british green and after a nice black wash it looked pretty good. Don't kill yourself on paint. After a weekend or 2 at Danille it
all disappears under the clay dust anyways. Looks like you had fun with assembly, now go reintroduce yourself to your family as they probably haven't seen you in days with the speed you
put this sucker together.
