Hobby Hint

by Mike Goodwin

This T55 is a rather old kit, made a long time ago by AMT.

I recently got around to putting it together.

I based coated it with Russian Army Green, following up with Vallejo Iraqi Sand

I added some Photo etched grills and straps, as wll as A-line chain. The decals are by Archer Fine Transfer.

Weathering was done using Mig Pigments, with a basic wash.

The chipping effect to show wear was accomplished by scraping off paint where a tank would usually show wear.
