Description: This is one of those kits where the pain scheme was the primary motivator to build it. Talk about masking hell! Mostly kit parts, with some scratch built items (Lens for the light is a contact lens case cut to size, and the straps for the barrel jacket are made from wine bottle foil). Antennas are .5 mm evergreen rod painted black. Painted with an airbrush using Tamiya paints. I used oils to weather the tank as if it were patrolling the streets of Berlin during the Cold War.
