When drawing panel lines, I use the Derwent pencils with a "light" hand. I utilize labeling tape as a straight edge due to it's flexibility.
Hope I don't get banned for posting a 1/48th build.
Nice work Matt, as usual. I have just started using the oil dot system on my armor projects after years of balking out of fear of botching 4 months of work.
I was looking at the price yesterday and mentioned to a friend it didn't seem right. Just under $40 USD when DML is charging $65+ for bad kits (see M-103A1) I'm guessing $60+.
Matt beat me to it. Tamiya T-72M is the way to go. If you want to be a rivet counter on the turret, there are a couple of companies that offer a/m replacements.
