We don't usually use primer - prefer a simple egg wash. Gives a nice golden brown top!!

Great comeback for a binned kit John.
Love the groundwork and the water experiments.
Neat work at the pie too, was that a dunkelgelb und weiss mix you used for the coat?

A calm has come over the bench, the BA20 being on hold re the wheels so I cracked on with the T38.
Devoid of remains of pie I decided to put on the decals, I can quite see why I don't attempt planes with those big decals , these were bad enough just going around the turret .
I use a tile for soaking the decals, just a couple of drops of water from a pipet rather than a saucer or cup where I find they curl up when coming off the backing.
Still found this length had a mind of its own, it fell apart in several places , but I managed to get it all on.
The white blocks were as the red on two decals, one for the turret front and the other for the wrap around.
A wee bit uneven on the left side, at least this is on the back side of the dio.
.
Hopefully tomorrow I can varnish and then start some weathering using oils, looking fwd to that.

Comrade Smirnov was a wee bit inebriated when he painted the red line. Its great to see your research has picked up on this with your build. Well done sir
Looking forward to seeing your oil work

Looks ok to me.
Loving these cars Steve, just for you I might even do the camo and winter wash !!! That decal might have easily ended up in the bin.
Thank you Ralph .

Did a gloss varnish late last night, so this afternoon I started the oils. will post photos tomorrow.

Evening glue fans, here at Race Towers things have been progressing .
While waiting for some wheels amongst other things I've decided to go back to the river.
The gap around the T38 seemed a bit wide, so out with the filler
I've made up the first batch and buttered up the sides of the model. Once in place I added some Vallejo colour, and worked it in with a brush. There are still sections of white filler showing, but will paint those in later .
It took another mix to get right in, I've left the side and the rear quite undulating to give the impression of water movement .
It will be interesting to see how this works with the water.
Loads to do yet before any liquid gets poured with some colouring when it's completely dry .
Thanks for looking in .
Comments welcome .

Aye up John - looks like you got a tad carried away with the splodge stuff.
In reference photos, although sitting low in the water, it was still possible to see the front end of the top track run and sprocket but you appear to have totally filled in the gap now

John,
Looks good to me. If it is sitting low put it down to the crew having a good lunch

Hi Simon, yes realised that as soon as I had the first lot of filler in, oh well the least seen of those tracks the better !
I have since altered it .
Cheers Ralph.Coming along nicely John

ha I was going to tell Simon that ! Paul, either that or they were carrying extra ammo.Rick,Hey JR, to me it seems to be bob, bob, bobing along. lol.
, Christine said it could we'll be stuck in thick mud ! .Well this afternoon I removed it from the luckily still unset filler. Soaked the model base in warm water, ( where by it floated very well .) And removed the bits of filler from the model .
Made up a fresh mix of filler and built up the base to lift the tank higher .
