As the GB is well under way i thought i would start my contribution i have decided to have a go at a Indian T-90 this build wont have as many goodies as a russian version but i will try and make up for by trying a Tetris camo paint scheme . The kit i will be using is Zveda's fine offering This is the ref picture i will be using as a guide for the paint scheme I have made a start on the turret the basic construction is done and there has been a few parts that needed filling and sanding the barrel will need a bit of work but it is looking good for a kit barrel next up will be finishing the sanding and filling then moving onto getting the final parts done to complete the turret then i can move onto the lower hull Dan B

Well i have sat thinking about it too and behind the tetris pieces there is a green sandy brown and black camo then the tetris design is painted over the top look between the tetris blocks and you will see it i will spray a camo then with a fine brush paint the blocks easy peezy lemon squeezy ;0 lol thanks for looking in chaps

I just looked at my Apache sitting on the side here,and had a thought(Strange I know!!!!),but here it is...why paint all these elaborate patterns on a Tank that'll go 'BANG',when a Hellfire missile drops on top of the ferkin turret!!!!,like they're designed to do... ?

Oh wow, Dan! I fell in love with this camo when I saw it for the first time, some years ago on a T-72! Already wanted to make one myself, but didn't happen yet.
If you keep your nerves when doing the paintjob it will look mighty fine once finished. I'm eager to see how you're gonna tackle this...
Cheers, Tobi

That Tetris scheme will be a barrel of laughs but I'll be here to giggle along with you The camo was featured in Tamiya Mag a while ago, the guy used thousands of Tamiya tape 'brick' masks, best of luck buddy
