Finally my decals showed up. Pretty colourful for a tank (to be filtered down), I guess friendly fire might have been a bigger worry than enemy action at this point in the war.
It isn't a lot, but the original tank in question is seen for a bit at the 7 and 33 second marks here:

God knows the kit itself, if I can find one, is far from ever gracing ScaleMates "It's hot" list. A (long?) OOP rebox from a "Who?" manufacturer of something originally sold in a bag by another "Who?".
I'm gonna end up with a vacuform kit one of these days, ain't I?
As for the Viggen, I feel I've gotten rather more comfortable with making things intentionally uneven (by airbrush or oil dotting) since about the Harrier. And it seems to carry through in the results. Looking at how the HMS PoW turned out it might be time to go back to the Kirishima and oil her up some more some day.
>>7291588Not very good would be my guess. Since it aims at ease of assembly from flat sheets (tank a'la Kamprad) at the cost of things like accuracy and details it doesn't really cut it as a scale model kit. So doing things that diminishes the shiny metal appeal while making the comparison to scale model kits closer at hand would probably not do it any favours.
