Uncarina Posted May 6, 2018 Share Posted May 6, 2018 Greg, very nice work! Did the kit come with the anti-slip texture, or did you add this as well? Cheers, Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMK Posted May 7, 2018 Author Share Posted May 7, 2018 Thanks for the comments/feedback, guys. Tom, the anti-slip was “enhanced†as the Tamiya stuff was just too fine, and Australian tanks have a different layout to the vehicle as kitted, mainly around the blow-off panels. https://i.imgur.com/kB4nqWC.jpg Uncarina 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used Tamiya’s Sand Texture material. Goes on well & dries quickly. Uncarina 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
