Hi all
I’ve applied the basic paint scheme. I got the inspiration from the reference pictures above. The scheme is a combination of several actual ones. I had to guess for the top and rear views just like often with Zvezda instructions. 
Now it’s time for detail painting.

Really like that cam Olivier, perfectly blended into each other. Excellent 
I am most impressed with your model! You did a great job. My only concern about the T-14 Armata is that they have been around for years but still only sport 14 tanks. It’s hard to take seriously.

Some pictures of the beast after a brown wash has been applied. The grilles on the rear hull sides are glued. I still need to add the antennas on the turret roof.
Sorry for the poor pics. It’s so long that I can’t use my usual background.

The camo makes it look smaller than it actually is (huge!!)
I like the way the turret bustle rack shows after the wash, makes the grille with the tiny holes pop out, even if it is a solid part. 
Nice pictures Olivier … That wash has really found its way into all the place you wanted… It shows the lines and panels off so well… Great work
I applied a pinwash to enhance the details. Some streaking has been done on the hull sides with water pencils. A brown wash was applied to the tracks to simulate dried earth. I need to give a shiny metal look to the raised parts of the links. And I removed the plastic bits between the guide teeth so the tracks look more realistic.

Have the Russians been able to start production yet?
Bill
Reports say no … Last time I bothered looking there were only 20 + tanks been made. Supply, money, design issues are rife apparently
Thanks! The last I heard they had built 14,
Bill
The 20 + was estimated… Not confirmed… And they also had X amount of prototypes built which may account for some as well …
Thanks. The Russians are a very secretive people.
Bill
They have to be, there are Nazis literally everywhere you see 
And of course everyone that is not a Nazi is an American spy!

Thank you all for the comments. I finally managed to write the usual article for my website.
Here is the link for those who would be interested in.
Enjoy the visit.

Nice article
Just a small notice, the background combined with the font style made it hard to read.
Impressive site Olivier, very informative and lots of great images from your old builds, some nice reminders there I’d forgotten about
Thank you for the feedback. Some years ago I had a different combination of background and font that I changed because someone made the same comment.
