Lis @lis these wheels are great, especially the weathering!

@fxrob So I live it as it is.

PS. Next step was turrets. Unfortunetly I made mistake. During glueing by clear glue two small dots of glue landed on frame of turrets. And after all paint was ripped of in this places. It takes me a lot of time to sand it and make acceptable. I hope You will like it. Turrets was paintet by primer MR Surfacer 1500, next Matt black, and next I will paint it on flat white.

Very importand part are dry fit of turrets. Fit are very tight. I need to sand this part over turrets and after that turrets could be put in his places. Also I made masking for all painted places to prepare for priming.

I found that sheet of masks from Eduard no CX548 has no any masks for position lamps. Very upset. I made home made masks, cutting of small pieces of kabuki tape.

PS. I bought another set of guns as replace:
