A1361 T34-85

An entertaining kit but with no interior detail hence hatches were posed closed up. Some issues with the instructions as K3 parts are actually K4 and vice versa (track linkages) and some others. Nice 'casting marks' on the turret and driver's hatch to give the model some depth.

Paint callout states H117 which I didn't use. These vehicles had Russian Green 4BO so Vallejo had the right hue to use. In fact, they do a set, 78.403 of 4BO to due post shading. Never done that before so ordered unused second hand off Kingkit.

So my first ever pre-shaded and now post shaded AFV with washes etc afterwards. The modulation of the paint certainly adds more interest to the finish in what would be dull as H117.
