T-55 Painted

Next we have the Iraqi T-55, completed, except for the tracks and roadwheels, which I almost always build last.

I don't have good pics of each step, but I textured the smooth-looking turret by stippling while glue onto the surface with a stiff brush, and then I shot the first coat, Russian Dark Green. When that was dry, I shot a base of my own mix of Tamiya and Gunze paints, approximating a dark tan. The final layer is a contrast coat of the same mix, with some white added.
