Tamiya BT-7 m1935 1:35 (Finnish version)

Tamiyas BT-7 m1935 built as a finnish BT-7 (R-703). Conversions made on the kit is new rear and front fenders, new gunsight on the turret and a holder for a axe on the front of the tank.

Other parts used on the kit are tracks from friulmodel, etch set from alien models and a figure from alpine miniatures.

The tank built up and primed with zero paints white primer. 

First time using blacken-it on metal tacks. Cleaned the tracks well with vinegar before the rust process.  

The tracks in the blacken-it bath.

Tracks after the blacken-it has made its magic. The tracks are now ready for pigments. 

Life color finnish armour green.

AK chipping medium tested, works like a hairspray and can be used directly in the airbrush.
