This really is looking very good.

Thanks Steve . Here's my attempt at the Meng Russian tank crew figures . I used Tamiya acrylics and Model Master enamels . Overall flat coat was VMS matt . Good stuff . ![](https://preview.ibb.co/jFwgcy/IMG_9052_Copy.jpg) ![](https://preview.ibb.co/dqHyPd/IMG_9063_Copy.jpg) I do believe this is the finish chaps .
