My latest experiment, Airfix T-34/76 (01316). On box scale is 1:72 but I have been informed it is 1:76. This is a old model and was stamped 1967.

So once assembled I painted with Humbrol 113 (Rust) enamel, 2 thin coats and sealed with Humbrol clear Matt varnish. I then used soft pastels (Earth colors) to make the rust color more authentic, sealed again with a thin Humbrol Matt varnish and allowing around 30 hours dry time. I used Humbrol Maskol to mark up potential rust spots allowing to dry before carefully applying Humbrol 117 Acrylic (green) which I allowed to dry before removing Maskol. I then used Humbrol dark green wash to darken some areas before applying a thin coat of Humbrol clear gloss varnish. After applying decals with decal softener I applied a thin coat of Matt varnish to only the decals to seal them. I then applied some dark grey wash and some dark brown wash to simulate water run off and highlighted with 117 Acrylic (Green). Allowing lots of dry time I think mixed some soft pastels to give the dirty dusty look and sealed with a thin coat of Matt varnish.

I am happy with the outcome but I think at this scale the detail in the models are just not there so I am going to look at 1:72 from other brands to see what is to be expected. I hope you all like.
