As you can see, the main body of the tank has this “orange peel” effect all around. I’ve decided that should be very interesting to copy this texture, for a more real and detailed model

Here I am.....the tools.....a brush and Mr. Surfacer primer 500!!! Maybe on the photo is not very perceptible, sorry....is my first time ops:, but the texture is there!! I suppose once painted and with some washes and filters will be more visible....o_O

That engine is rather nice...

Dont forget that those photos of the hull are from a tank that is very old and been restored.

True there will be casting marks, on the cast parts but the sheet steel construction would have been reasonably smooth.

The effect you have created on the rear deck (?) does look very good though and will only add to the overall effect when painted and weathered up.

I've do the effect on the main hull, like on my reference photos. The effect is subtle, but it give at the model a nice look as you can see, the primer coat is unfinished...I will paint a dark one later with the airbrush (preshading)

Thanks for the comment Ian

Come on Polux! I see what you've doing - that's a real engine you've found ... isn't it?

Yeah! I think you got your pictures mixed up with those of that real engine you found!
