The turret is nearly built. I removed the soft detailed molded on holders for the gun mantlet cover and scratched them in order to add a bit more crispiness to this golden oldie. The grab handles of the hatches will be replaced by metal wire. ![](https://i.ibb.co/c6VBWMk/IMG-20201129-132906.jpg) ![](https://i.ibb.co/RGF2zNz/IMG-20201129-132836.jpg)

Thank you fellas. Today the turret was airbrushed with two shades of rust brown. I added a few drops of Tamiya clear to the dark and light browns. ![](https://i.ibb.co/GHsYPmf/IMG-20201130-194519.jpg)

Marco! Thanks, how are you brotha? Tommygunn, thank you. Paul, thanks, it's a start and I'm happy with 'grand'. ![:D](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/grin.png) Ian, thank you. Steve, thank you my friend. You're most welcome. Boots, thanks ! It's the start of a battery of rustification. Today I battled on and after another coat of Tamiya Gloss Clear. I mixed three shades of green diluted with water and made enough for the whole tank. The turret was sprayed with hairspray applied by the airbrush pistol to avoid uncontrolled...sprayerizings. ![:D](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/grin.png) I then dropped salt in the fresh hairspray. The darkest green was applied, then de mid shade and the lightest. I want worn paint with sun bleached effects. Once the paint was dry I removed the salt with a toothpick and a rough brush. The result was then sealed with Tamiya Gloss Clear. Now the turret is ready for stage 3. The three greens I prepared for this step. ![](https://i.ibb.co/3c9zxt9/IMG-20201201-203437.jpg) Picking away the salt...no rushing, it's reeeeeeeeelaxiiiiiiing. ![](https://i.ibb.co/GT0xC8m/IMG-20201201-203201.jpg) Tomorrow the next step. This is where I'm at. ![](https://i.ibb.co/W0g8v18/IMG-20201201-202229.jpg) ![](https://i.ibb.co/kQg5gn6/IMG-20201201-203252.jpg)
