Up The Revolushun

Kayvee 'Tu

The model is part of a range made by Meng and available from eBay in the UK. The list includes various WWII tanks and a modern Chinese battle tank.

HP Lovecraft.

I decided on Humbrol spray slime green as an appropriate base paint and added dark green wash and lemon yellow highlights.
