Guy, Boots, Steve----thanks, gents! Moving along; I applied some post-shading using the Mission Models Red Army Green tinted with yellow.

Then I airbrushed on Tamiya Smoke to accent any recesses, hatches and panel lines.

Next I sealed it with Vallejo Gloss Varnish to set the stage for lots of abuse with oils and pigments.

Thanks, gents. No decals to worry about on this, or stowage so I will be focusing on some weathering. Although Tamiya provides turret slogans, references and photos indicate these were bare of Cyrillic phrases, unlike the T-34s and KV-1s, etc.

I made a little more progress on my Rolling Cheese Block. I started with the oil work and applied a blending filter of very diluted Ivory Black, White, and Burnt Umber(combined into almost a beige color) cut with Mineral Spirits. I let that dry and then applied pin washes of Raw Umber/Ivory Black and Mineral Spirits on the surface detail. I will let that cure up tonight.
