You're in luck Micovic because everything you need is in the LifeColor Soviet WW II Army set,NO MIXING. Six color set.
I saw this set advertised and thought now would be a good time to try it out. Works for me.
Yeah "T" it does add some interest don't it? I start getting sweaty palms this close to the end. ;D

Tony lovin your work i fancey a go at one of these some time. Right i have not been sitting around doing nothing i have managed to get my M46 almost done before the great paint job begins just to remind you guys this is going to have the Tiger Face paint job i only managed to find 1 picture of the unit on a hill side looking very dapper in all their kitty cat tanks. DSC04748 by macmcconnell, on Flickr. This was other then the tracks the hold up but i got stuck in last night in a few days this will be dry and i can add the seams made with green stuff. DSC04747 by macmcconnell, on Flickr. got some texture in with Mr Surfacer 500. DSC04749 by macmcconnell, on Flickr. now soon to get paint. DSC04746 by macmcconnell, on Flickr. I would point out that the little roller near the sprocket is better to add once the track is on i had to take mine off again add the track and reapply. Rgs Mac

I think this is called Declaring your colors: Those are Hi-Decal brand decals,poor quality or very old,I had a heck of a time with these jokers. They are thick,they silvered and tried to fall apart on me. I did all the right things in applying them too. They're on so end of story ;D Tony

jackwagon are you saying I don't speak the Kings English? I put a filter on this morning (Mig Tri Color Filter) force dried it and gave her a shot of satin sealer. Now I would say that brought out the true color of the LifeColor Russian Olive Green. Let it dry over night and on to an overall wash and pin wash. Tony

I feel that the pin wash is just heavy enough to give definition to the detail and stay within the over-all general appearance. A little dusting up and i'll call it a done deal. Comments Welcomed Tony
