I think I’ll try cutting Tamiya tape in very thin strips and see if I can stretch them around the spinners! I’ve seen those two tone spinners also so I’ll go with what’s easiest, lol!!! -

Thanks Martin however both companies shipping is outrageous especially Edwards $24.99 charge for a $6 item!!! Maybe that’s for personal hand delivery, lol!! I’ll see what I can do with Tamiya tape! -

This morning’s while the rest of the condo was quiet I completed step 16 assembling and installing both propellers and the step up rail. We’re expecting another hot day so will spend it touching up some seams and maybe get a coat of primer on it! -

Yeah it’s hotter than the surface of the sun in Richmond VA. So enjoying staying indoors vasking in the AC and building a kit! -
Pretty cool technique. I’ve watched several YouTube videos and this is the results I’m looking for. I think I’ll try the turret and mantle next. Still crossing my fingers!🤞 This is actually quite fun!!! I’m told the technique should be totally random plus once painted and weathered over it’ll look very realistic.

It’s actually very easy. It’s a mixture of Tamiya Putty and Tamiya Extra Thin. Mix it together on a bit of cardboard and then using a stiff bristle brush dab it on the piece. Some use Mr Surfacer 1000, I think, to achieve the same results. It looks a bit rough, and some sand it back a bit afterwards but I didn’t. Remember they were casting tanks not a work of art!! After painting and weathering it looks amazing. Just like real casting marks!!
