Simon, I have to agree with Rick the finish looks spot on.
I have trouble remembering what I had for breakfast this morning
I suspect the lower plate, that slopes outward, would be filthy, but the upper plate, that slopes inward, to be fairly clean. Look at cars on the road in winter: any (near-)vertical rear panels get very dirty, but sloping rear panels stay much cleaner.What stands out on the photo is the tracks and running gear is completely covered in mud yet very little if any on the armour. What was the back end like Mr T??
True, but I’ve usually observed dirt getting deposited in much the same way on military vehicles: vertical or outward-sloping rear panels get much dirtier than inward-sloping ones. On this T-34, with its missing rear mudguard pieces, some mud would probably get thrown up on the upper rear hull, but mostly just inside and above/forward of the drive sprocket, I’d think.Yes, but with cars that is down to airflow and turbulence, which deposits muck in the dead air surfaces.
At least they don't have loads of kitThanks John - I'm pretty happy with how it turned out.
Looking forward to trying that washable paint on the braille scale T34-85
Need to assemble the crew now for this and then try my luck at painting them
The Tamiya crew don't look too bad - whether or not I can paint them remains to be seen
