Hello to everyone
I´m a modeller from the north of Spain, mainly an aviation modeller, but now trying to build a tank
The main goal will be to test the AK products, learn to use it and how I could use it in aviation kits. In fact I´m using them yet in a 1/48 Skyraider.
Choose the BT-7 because is a relatively small project and looking at Mig´s BT-7 I can see which should be the result
The article in Euromodelismo magazine and FAQ.2 are two complete guides for painting this kit. I just try to create a more weathered look, if possible. Will try to follow it, providing some personal touch
Now I will stop punishing you with my bad English and post some images...
Some color modulation and filters with green oil. The model was painted, stripped and painted again because I didn´t achieve a soft modulation in the first try, mainly because I could not dilute the paint correctly.
Then I read a post in this forum recommending Tamiya lacquer thinner (yellow cap) to dilute the paint. In this way works to perfecion.
Code and red star painted with home-made masks and after this a dark brown filter.
Now Streaking grime around all small details.
Some work with brown blue, trying to reinforce shadows, and some touches of white and light green oils for lights. Exhausts painted with sponge and rust colors from AK too.
Some rust, just as a test, using Rust streaks and Light Rust.
And time for chipping using Chipping color, a fine brush, sponge and splashing whit a brush (not sure if "splashing is the correct word
)
More coming soon, I hope...

... But what I especially like is the quality of your pictures: really nice to look at. Could you please make some close up shots when you're ready with the next phase? I'd love to see this baby up close...
