T-72 AV Syrian streetfighter

[danb]

Hey chaps im not sure if any of you have seen this project since the change of forums i have finally got this all wrapped up hope you enjoy my work

I started by using Revells 1/72 T-72 M1 kit this is a cracker of a kit and had to make a few changes to get it from M1 spec to AV

Ref of the tank im basing my model on



1st mod was to add extra bolts to the dozer blade which mounts a plate which holds the frontal ERA blocks



More ERA blocks were made and added to the side skirts made from styrene stock



Front fenders were used from Revells T 90 kit more blocks were now added to the glacis plate



Another mod was to make a anti radiation liner for the turret this was created by rolling majic sculpt putty



More details from the t-90 kit were added to the turret alongside the tracks



Side armor skirts made from styrene along with more turret details this is now ready for paint

Now its time for paint

Auto grey primer





Turret with its base colours 50/50 mix Tamiya deck tan and white i alter shades for a slight colour variation sealed with Mr Hobby gloss



alongside the hull



Using Wilders Dark wash this was used thinned for a filter and neat for pin washes



A flat coat later and some chipping





Oil stains and 1st layer of pigments



Speckling and dust washes from Wilders Nitro line



Side armour painted and weathered

One of your best work... what the hell... you are getting better and better every time! LOL Like I said earlier I just love the base so much and it is hard to believe it is really in 1/72!
