Trumpeter T-72 build

You can dull down that green with some washes; weathering will help greatly; but looks good so far.

That’s my plan.
It’s not so stark in real life.

Looking really good, Dan. I am REALLY resisting the urge to start building the Meng T-72s in my stash.

Mine will arrive too, I’m ging for the revell 65 (you can’t seem to have a right shade of green since it differ from vehicle to vehicle).

Well? There is not a WRONG shade of green either.

Go for it

Hi everyone. I have a Tamiya T-72M1 kit that’s waiting to be built. When I get started I will certainly be returning here for advice and suggestions. Thiers a YouTuber that built one in a East German version with some pretty neat scratch built ideas that I plan on using. This will be my first Russian build, so that’s going to be pretty interesting.

Calling it done.

Nicely done. The green has turned out really good. looks nice and faded in areas.

Fuel lines are excellent. Nice work.

Thanks guys.
The green in the photo looks a bit different than the actual model and I think its due to the lights.
The Trumpeter kits are quite busy kits.

Very Nice job.
