Thanks, David. I was planning on painting it Russian Armor green, when I realized it was out of that color. Then it dawned on me, that a lend lease tank would have been painted an olive color. I didn't have it handy, but did have some medium green, which I sprayed over a black base, and I'm pretty happy with the result.skypirate wrote:Lovely shading on the Stuart!

Thanks, Marek. I've built a few of these, and the plastic kits are fairly nice. The resin models are not necessarily as detailed, but some of the more rare tank versions are only available via resin.Marek wrote:Good looking Stuart. I guess the 1/56th scale is starting to catch up with the modelling world.
The Italeri Stuart is done, I'll try to post some photos later. I got the Bf-109 painted and ready for decals, only to discover that the decals are too yellowed to be usable. I guess I should have paid closer attention to them beforehand, but hindsight is always 20/20. Because of the paint scheme I used, I'm kind of stuck looking for that same set of decals. I've found a sheet with the same markings, but the sheet alone costs about as much as the Airfix Bf-109e-7 kit with the same decals. Now I have the dilemma of adding another kit to the stash? Or just buying the decal sheet?
Maybe a quick trip to the LHS for lunch will help make up my mind.
