Here’s my completed “Russian Front Group Build” Tamiya 1/35 Captured Russian T34/76. After reading the responses to my chipping question I decided to take warm water and a toothbrush to the whitewash giving the winter camouflage a more warn look as if surviving on the battlefield more than a day!!! FYI: Captured Soviet tanks in WWII were commonly repurposed by German forces, who applied large Balkenkreuz markings to avoid friendly fire, often using them due to shortages. Models like the T-26, T-28, T-34, and KV-2 were captured and sometimes modified.

I agree! I can imagine what it would be like to be a crew member in a firefight! The noise, smoke and the main gun firing must have been earth shattering!!

Also working on my Tamiya 1/35 T-34/76 captured winter camouflage build!

Tamiya 1/35 Jagdpanther detailing and weathering plus adding figures and stowage!!

First time using Mission Models paints and I’m super impressed. I used MMP-012 (Rotbraun RAL 8017) and MMP-018 (Resedagrun RAL 6011 and Tamiya XF-4 (Yellow Green) to freehand the camouflage pattern on the Jagdpanther this morning. I used a 50/50 mix of paint to thinner at about 15psi.

Snowy track edge weathering!

As I said the Paint shop manager decided to catch up on a few priming projects and kindly took care of priming both the T-34/76 and the Jagdpanther this morning. Plans are to let the primer cure overnight and start spraying to color coat tomorrow.
