1/35 M48a3 Patton by Tamiya Complete

Post by Ceaser_Sa1ad »

I flat coated it and it is now complete. Despite the flat coat, it is weirdly shiny in some spots. I don't know how to get rid of that, and I really don't like it.

One of the rings came off, but that is an easy fix.

Try a simple wash using chalk and a drop of dish soap and brush it on.

You’re off to a fine start in 1/35 armor. Much better than my builds for that same comparable age. Keep it up!

Nice work dirtying it up,mud looks great. Try misting the flat on with light coats.
I also recommend Alclad Flat,it is really dead flat and since using never had that problem.

Thanks Tojo, Medic
I will try the misting and see how that goes. Thanks for the tip
