Thanks I just noticed the accent was missing in the N.
Also thanks @Johnnych01 for the critique. Made me rethink the masks and I took some time to reshape them and resize a bit and I am much happier now

But not quite: you need “БЕЙ”, and you have “БЕИ”. They are completely different letters.
You need an apostrophe on the last letter, like Tom2022’s.
Looking very good Mead. The change you made with the lettering has made a big difference

Wow Mead that is really sweet. The shading is excellent and the stenciling is perfect.

Thank you!! I am very happy with how the paint job turned out. I’ve been really focusing on my shading while painting.
I wasn’t sure if I liked the stencils, so your comment is appreciated. They felt a bit messy but after reviewing photos the real things were a bit sloppy as well

There is a Russian proverb: “Better late than never.”
You can compare your stencil with a commercial product.
This is clearly only for one side.

i finally managed to mask off the BMP-3 and apply the green paint, after which i dropped the turret section and broke loose the internal turret assembly…which i have glued again.

Started to weather the Kv-1 tried a technique for the wear on the steel wheels that I saw in Night Shifts video on his JS-2 build. I have done the inside of this wheel but not the outside yet, thoughts on how it looks?

Looks good to me Mead. What was the method ? I use AK steel pigments for that effect on wheel rims.

Same idea but I don’t have steel pigment. Painted it with Humbrol aluminum, then a thin coat of Vallejo natural steel over that, followed by buffing with graphite from a pencil on my finger

I’ve hand painted tbe “Z” on tbe BMP-3 as well as adding mud effects using “Perfect Putty” and tamiya flat earth acrylic paint, it needs to br darkened and layered but you get a rough idea

Looking good and nice little additions David. The Z looks the part with some natural runs.
