SOVIET T12 MEDIUM TANK HobbyBoss 1/35

[David Lovell]

Built this along side the shilka, no box or spru shots in fact had to troll the net to find out what it was box and build detritus went in the recycling bin ages ago ,typical hobbyboss fare goes together as good as any body else's bit of a no brainer really.

Primer was mig one shot squirted at the same time as the shilka
Pre shade highlights were also sprayed at same time as the shilka.


Once again the green on the shilka was flushed through and the 4B0 squirted at this one paint was thinned with mig transparator makes the paint more translucent helping to stay in touch with the pre shade highlights slightly sheene apparently satin finish didn't know but you can get a flat version as well ,wouldnt recommend it personally because its one of thoes one mans poison things but I like the product.


As with the shilka all blocked in and good for the start but this time I'm going down a diffren route so some home work first then it could well go yae or oops. Dave

Well this was the homework I purchased the book and oil's at least a couple of years ago ,gave it a quick flick through and put it in storage (cupboard),

I've quite a few reference books especially 72nd armour modelling not to copy but enjoy reading and drawing inspiration from the pics ,I take in a lot of the how to's but as we all know it dont work that way but does help you to find your own way/technique ,so there's a lot of pages of blah blah blah but found a couple of answers to what I wanted to know. So I'm now armed and dangerous so yay or oops...............your find out soon enough. Dave

That's a fine paint job. Some really nice variation. Look forward to the oil work.
