I started this about 8 months ago. After building it I lost interest, to me wasn't an interesting build nor much to look at and I certainly underestimated how small a "light" tank.

Finally got around to painting and sod's law, made a big error by not masking up the lines between the stencils but by that stage I had forgotten the paint mix of the base coat so dare not "repair" it.

Sticking to large tanks going forward 😂 that said, it does leave a lot more building space on the shelves!

Really enjoyed this build, first time doing an exposed/open tank so took a bit of head scratching working out the order to paint and how to mask etc.

Tried a new technique (to me) of mixing putter and thinner to create a bit of texture to the metal. It looked quite significant before painting but now is a very very subtle effect.

Room for improvement, I got excited and completely forgot to use filler/sand where needed. I also need a lot more practice on rust effects. Also lesson learnt asking my teenage kid what number to spray on the side 🤦
