Looks awesome Evgeny! 👍
Did you do some light weathering or just pinwash?

Melf Boyens
Looks really great Evgeny. Ingo, what means "pinwash"?

Ingo F
Hey Melf, pinwash means that you apply the washes with a fine brush to small areas like bolts, rivets, around grab handles etc. Instead of an overall wash with a big brush.

Melf Boyens
I am still learning about washes , thanks about the info. How would you remove the overstays on bolts or rivets, does it work same way as for the washes, i.e. you sweep with cotton pads or lighter fuelled tissue?

Ingo F
I use another fine brush to remove them. Just tip the brush into white spirit and remove/brush it of on a kitchen tissue. With the nearly dry brush i remove the areas i do not need.

Just a little-little bit dust - airbrush tamiya buff.
Wanted almost clean tank

Excellent work Evgeny! Hope that I can finish my T-80U as nice as yours.
How did the trumpeter tracks fit on the Xact T-80U sprocket?

Evgeny Brovkin
Thanks!

Awful
Basically this track are bad - they not workable at fakt - need to glue.
And it's impossible to fit a sprocket. I'v made a gap:
