Good one!
Entirely possible

Worked on one fuel drum.
I think the resin is from Miniarm.

Takom released some AU decals on their T-55 AMV kit, you could use the big, bold letters…

From eBay’s retailer “Breaddreamsllc”.

Miniart also added African Union decals on their T-55 Mod 1970 kit.

[Dan]

It’s a great fitting kit and detailed.

[Dan]

Thanks, I’ll look into this, otherwise I’ll make a stencil out of Tamiya tape.

Been gone camping for a week with my granddaughter.

You are making me want one of these. You gave up on the MiniArt. Have you built the Takom? If so, any thoughts on how this compares with that?
