Default T-34 painting and decaling

I finished adding all the parts to my T-34, spray painted it , made some decals and, other then some weathering, it is ready to go. This has all Heng long electronics in it.

I really like how it looks now,looks a lot more real.
That green really suits it,what shade of green is it?

I'm not trying to pick but,I think you may have mounted the saw upside down.

Please post more pics as you weather it.

Cheers.

The green is a model raiload color, CNR green, looks about right for the shade of Russian armour. You may be right about the saw. I'll have to check!!!

I spent some time today weathering and highlighting the tank. Some thin washes of black and them pop them details out with some dry brushing, sure gives it some depth and weight.
After I took the pictures I noticed the turret and the topside of the tank aren't sitting down like they should. They are not fastened and are just placed in position for pictures. I am scrounging some electronics to make and IR firing system, so haven't bothered securing the parts together, as it is still very much a work in progress.

Notice the corrected saw. Thanks to those who noticed.

An American Airborne tanker driving a Russian tank... What will they think of next?

Superb work on the tank... but the driver? Hmm.
