Boots, cheers muchly mushty ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) . Sorry about the crap weather though ![:D](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/grin.png) . John, thank you also ole chap ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) . Those pics you have shown I also have, those vehicles though are early 55's and even T54's. I did manage to find one picture of a 55 that might just fit the scene ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/wink.png) . Well then the Tamiya primer being a bloody good piece of kit, was dry after a couple of hours ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) . So I just sprayed a semi-gloss black mix, of Tamiya XF-1 and X-22 on to the tank as a base coat. I must say I am proud of that replacement 12.7 barrel ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/wink.png) . ![](https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52892829553_63a0b62d95_c.jpg) ![](https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52891802207_dc1a4a9495_c.jpg)

So, after colouring the tracks with a dirty paint mix, Mig Track Wash a dry brush with steel and a rub with graphite on the inner surface, I added the outer road wheels. Unfortunately Italeri have the spacings wrong, but I am gonna have to live with that. The MG got a very light rub with graphite powder, nothing else will be done on that. ![](https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52895097304_bec7894a8a_c.jpg) ![](https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52894928011_85d05e2ecb_c.jpg) ![](https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52894359107_d2ec2c9d59_c.jpg) ![](https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52894358697_284e1c4bf0_c.jpg) ![](https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52895381898_0bd67f531f_c.jpg)

Some great work again Paul !! Black Primer and the Green, I will have to try that one.
Paul, it doesn't matter the scale, you still deliver your Magic !!! I wonder what you would do with a tiny Panzer 38(t) in 1:16th ....

Great work Paul.
Against the PanzerArt box you can really tell how small it is.

That Braille scale barrel is mind blowing Paul. I said it before and I'll say it again, I have to remember this is 1/72!
