BT-42
Scale: 1/72 Producer of the kit: UM A reason for building this model was an interesting pattern of the Finnish version of a reconstruction of looted Soviet tanks with a help of a British 105 mm howitzer and also an advantageous purchase of the kit. There are famous Eastern hand-forged metal parts included in the kit, which I used, not having any other option. There was no problem with them, the only challenge was to roll the muzzle break – and it quite shows… The basic khaki colour is a sprayed Agama and grey and green were mixtures of Humbrol enamels, hand-painted with a brush. Swastikas should be of about a half size on the model but for provocation I used the bigger ones, supposed to be used on an overall khaki vehicle and I think it looks quite well. Weathering with oils and pigments. |
