Did most of the base coat for the Zvezda T-72B. It's night so lighting is incredibly shit, so I'll check tomorrow morning in sunlight for areas that didn't get covered properly.
As for the color, I aimed for a more darker olive color that the T-62's green, so they wouldn't look too samey next to each other on the shelf, but it may be too dark. Again I'll check it out in the morning. Trumpeter recommends H303/Model Master 1713 for their Soviet tanks, including their T-62's and T-72's, but Zvezda recommends MM 1710, which is H309. It's also semi-gloss which imo is more accurate for Cold-War slavshit, but it's going to get a bunch of layers of varnishes, filters, etc. anyway.
Also I'll paint one of the fenders a different green, like it was replaced from another vehicle, along with one roadwheel, that's an earlier eight-spoked, instead of the T-72B's later six-spoked. I don't know if it's interchangeable, or this would have happened irl, but this isn't a competition kit anyway, it's a fucking Zvezda, so no biggie.
But if there are any slavshit experts ITT, tell me if it's wrong.
