T-40s Soviet Light Tank - 1:72(20mm)
« on: 05 January 2021, 09:50:23 PM »
Hi all,

I recently finished painting T-40s Soviet Light tank. Its a tiny model but took a lot work to finish :)










I'm happy with the paintjob but the snow turned out kinda "meh".

I would maybe remove some of the snow from the running gear because in real life it would not gather there?

Its too late for that now. Maybe next time :)
I was looking at the reference photos of tanks in the snow and it seems that snow did gather there. MY snow was not the right type to use it on the running gear tho that's why it looks kinda strange.

PVA glue I tried to remove the loosen bits but don't want to go to hard, I'm afraid its going to come off with paint.
