I
n this issue of The Weathering Magazine, we want to show you a representative cross-section
of models from the modern battlefield. Not all types of weapons presented are state-of-the-art
equipment straight from modern military and defense exhibitions. For example, the T-72 tank
presented is a design from 1971, but it is still serving in numerous variations and modifications
with over 40 countries from around the world. Most recent service includes actions taken by
government forces during the tragic Syrian conflict. Next to this aged but actively used machine,

 Conversations regarding premier
modern infantry vehicles undoubt-
edly involve firepower, speed, and
protection against projectiles and
other threats, among others. There
are many different modern infantry vehicles on today´s arms market
that meet these requirements, but if any of them can be called top-of-
the-line, it is the German Schützenpanzer (IFV) Puma.
A wealth of Puma reference photographs can be found throughout
the internet, where the vehicle’s wide range of capabilities can be
seen on training ranges and in the field. These photos show a hull ex-
ceedingly dirty and covered in dust and mud, with the turret almost
clean. This is my main weathering idea for this project - to represent
David a vehicle with dried mud on the hull sides in contrast with the turret
Pérez which barely shows dust. In general, this weathering pattern is very
common on modern vehicles being evaluated in proving grounds,
crew training, or taking part in field exercises. Most importantly, the
mud layer must be applied to localized areas in order to create a high
level of contrasts between different areas of the model, both clean
and filthy. This prevents the model from ending up with a monot-
onous and boring mud coating which would hide all the previous
weathering work. Let’s see how it is done!

1 The single most important step when painting a model is to apply a
primer coat which ensures optimal paint adhesion of the acrylic paint
layers to follow. Start by spraying One Shot Primer Grey A.MIG-2024.
For this application, I used the new Aircobra A.MIG-8625 airbrush,
an indispensable tool for painting any model. We worked with a 1.5
bar/22psi air pressure, as you can see in the picture.
4 A few drops of Matt White A.MIG-0047 acrylic color was added to
the previous mixture to create a lighter green tone used add high-
lights to specific areas and create more contrast within the green
base.

2 With the model entirely primed in grey, specific areas can be pre-shad-
ed using One Shot Primer Black A.MIG-2023. This effect is focused on
the non-slip areas- and the recessed seems between panels.
3 After waiting 24 hours for the primer layer to dry, a standard NATO
three-color camouflage was applied.
The green base color of the camouflage was applied using NATO Green
A.MIG-0084 acrylic mixed with Transparator A.MIG-2016 in a 50/50
ratio. The color was sprayed in a light coat over the green areas shown
on the real vehicle. Thanks to the use of the Transparator product,
the camouflage can be applied without completely obscuring the
pre-shading effect from the previous step.
5 For the black disruptive bands, Matt Black A.MIG-0046 and Transpa-
rator were used. The outline of the patches were airbrushed first.
Once sketching the contours of the camouflage was complete, the
patches were filled with black to achieve the desired result.
6 The camouflage application continued with NATO Brown
A.MIG-0085 thinned with Transparator for the brown bands. The
method used is the same shown for the black areas of the pattern,
but more control and precision was required when contouring the
area to avoid overspray effecting the black camouflage patches.

7 With the camouflage scheme application complete, a protective layer
of Glossy Lucky Varnish A.MIG-2053 was applied. A couple light coats
will be enough to seal the previous work, obtain a suitable surface for
the subsequent weathering processes, and prepare the surface for the
decals.
8 Let me introduce you to the new AMMO decal solutions. They can
be used to fix and adapt all types of decals to the surface of your
models.

 13 Matt Lucky Varnish A.MIG-2051 is ideal
to get rid of any possible shine on the
decals and achieve a more natural paint-
ed on appearance. A couple of light
coats were applied over the decals, and
they immediately become perfectly inte-
grated into the surrounding surface.

14 To tie in the three colors of the camou-

flage together and add a warmer tone
13 to the entire model, a filter of Tan for
3 Tone Camo A.MIG-1510 was used.
The filter was uniformly applied over the
surface with a no.4 flat brush while pre-
14 15 venting it from pooling or collecting in
recesses or around details.

15 Once the filter was allowed to dry for 24

hours, a pin wash was applied to the en-
tire model. For this subject, Dark Wash
A.MIG-1008 and a no. 0 or 1 brush was
used to better control the application of
the washes. Panel lines as well as raised
and recessed details are emphasized
with the washes, adding a more three-
dimensional look to the model.

16 The Puma is among the most advanced

modern AFVs and is composed of mul-
16 17 tiple materials including various metal
alloys and advanced composites. But
no matter how modern the materials
are, over time exercises and exposure to
the elements will end up degrading the
paint of any vehicle. In my opinion there
is nothing better than oil colors to repre-
sent this type of damage to the paintjob.
In this case I diluted different Oilbrushers
tones with Enamel Odourless Thinner
A.MIG-2019 in a palette and used them
for small localized filters.

17 Filters are applied onto specific areas

with a light green tone. A dark green
shade was also used to create contrast
between green tones and an ocher tone
used on the brown patches.

18 In this picture, you can see the model

with the oil filters already completed.
The application has created faded paint
effects and highlights to different parts
of the model, thus adding more visual
interest to the finish.

 19 Streaking products in a new container, another new range from AMMO by
Mig Jimenez with the same type of bottle used in the Oilbrusher range. This
new line includes an even finer brush which enables you to create thin verti-
cal lines in a fast, clean, and easy way.

20 As mentioned, the built-in applicator brush in the cap is thinner and longer
than its counterpart in the Oilbrusher series which offers better control dur-
ing application. For this subject, vertical lines were added to the sides.

19 21 Once the streak lines are dry to the touch, they were blended with a flat
brush moistened in enamel thinner, using vertical strokes moving from top
to bottom to obtain an extremely realistic look of traces of dust and dirt
running down the surfaces before drying.

20 21

22 23

22 At this stage it was time to shift focus and add mud effects to the vehicle.
Mud Thick Soil A.MIG-1701 enamel product was widely used to add dust
and dirt effects to the model and begins with the wheels. The product was
diluted with Enamel Odourless Thinner to the consistency of a wash and
24 generously applied over the wheels with a round brush, this process can also
be repeated on the tracks.
Once dry, the enamel creates an extremely realistic effect of dry mud.

23 The application continued with Thick Soil from the Heavy Mud range used
directly from the jar to create a dry and thick mud covering. The product
was applied with a brush to the lower areas of the Puma such as the side
skirts.

24 Another example of the versatility of this product is that it can also be used
to represent dust effects. The Thick Soil mud product was again thinned to
the consistency of a wash, but this time a much thinner consistency than
in the previous step. A fine brush was loaded with wash and a subtle layer
applied to the areas where a dust accumulation is required. You can add
more or less wash to taste, once complete the model was set aside to dry.
Notice how the anti-slip areas start to stand out more thanks to this dusting
technique.

28 The next step was to give some defining character to the model.
Focused attention is given to specific areas individually while using
different methods. The first step was to mask off the areas surround-
ing the zone where mud was to be applied. For this model, mud
splashes were applied with a brush and a toothpick. The brush was
loaded with slightly diluted Thick Soil and then the effect was flicked
with the tip of a toothpick until satisfied with the result. I used an-
other new simple and versatile tool from AMMO by Mig Jimenez,
the high-quality turned Brass Toothpicks A.MIG-8026 are perfect for
many modeling applications and techniques.
12 / THE WEATHERING MAGAZINE / MODERN WARFARE
26
25 Even the turret can receive subtle dust applications. Here we can
see how it has been done in three quick steps. Load the brush
with wash and apply it onto the desired area.
26 This is the result once the enamel has dried.
27 In this case I used a makeup sponge to clean up the excess
wash while leaving the paint accumulated in nooks and cran-
nies, much like when using pigments.
30
29 Mud applications continued on individual areas, this time depositing
small quantities of enamel products from the Heavy Mud range on
the corners of this panel, as you can see in the photo. Using the brass
toothpick before the enamel dries, the mud was spread over the
panel to simulate a dry trickle of mud on the surface.
30 Correcting, adjusting, and removing effects is easy, you can simply
use a Sniper Brush and thinner.
 31 Once the adhesive masks were removed, the result of
the localized mud effects can be seen as shown in this
photo. Some areas received more mud splashes, while
others were exposed to thicker mud, streaks of dry mud,
or even caked on surfaces combined with splashes.
Engine oil stains were represented with Fresh Engine Oil
A.MIG-1408. The enamel product was applied with the
airbrush onto the most logical areas to be stained by the
exhaust gases.

32 Finally enamel Earth A.MIG-1408 was sprayed onto the front of the vehicle
32
and some side and rear areas as well to create contrast between the layer
33
of dry mud and some fresh mud that has covered small areas of the vehicle
more recently.

 The F/A-18 Hornet is considered one of the most versatile and sophisticated carrier-based aircraft.
Initially, the US Navy intended to produce two different versions: one fighter and one specialized
in attack. Eventually both projects were combined to produce the current multi-role F/A-18 A/B.
The requirements put forth were not easy to achieve, as the design would have to replace the A-7
Corsair II and F-4 Phantom in their respective roles, in addition to replacing the F-14 Tomcat in its
role of defending the fleet. The prototype put forth showed promise beyond all expectations and
would evolve to be utilized by both the US Navy and the Marine Corps. The F-18C also serves with
the air forces of Canada, Australia, Spain, Finland, and Switzerland among others.

The Hornet I have represented belongs to the VFA-87 Golden Warriors, a squadron based in Oceana
(Virginia Beach) that has been active since the Vietnam War through to more recent operations
Javier López such as Desert Storm, Enduring Freedom and Iraqi Freedom. Specifically, this aircraft is placed in
de Anca
the year 2013 when the Golden Warriors served aboard the USS George W. Bush (CVN-77).

Working with this fine example of Kinetic’s molding quality was a pleasure. The quality of its this
kit makes assembly a joy free from complications. This allowed me to sink into the painting and
weathering stages that I was really looking forward to. This kit is the best option when building
an F/A-18 and is available in versions A, B, C or D.

Although it may seem strange, one of the most

2
important steps in the painting of an airplane is
the primer application. This step provides excellent
grip and a unified surface for the base colors to fol-
low. In this case, I used White Primer A.MIG-2004
applied in very thin layers.

The first color applied was Red using A.MIG-049,

3
this is the foundation for the squadron markings
separating the black from the gray.

Once dry the red was masked and I began work-

4
ing on the base color of the upper surfaces us-
6 ing the colors included in the US Navy Aircraft set
A.MIG-7201. The first grey tone applied was Dark
Compass Ghost Gray A.MIG-0208 which will serve
as a foundation for weathering effects.

The center of each panel was illuminated with

5
Light Gray A.MIG-0209. This step must be applied
randomly with fine strokes to create soft shapes
free of hard edges.

The base color of the underside was applied using

6
12
12 Light Compass Ghost Gray A.MIG-0203 which is
included in the US Navy Colors set.

16 / THE WEATHERING MAGAZINE / MODERN WARFARE

 7

The process of applying highlights to each

7 8
panel was repeated this time using Cold
Gray A.MIG-0119 for the lighter tone.

Finally, the panel lines of the upper surfaces

8
were shaded with Gray Blue A.MIG-0210,
adding 25% Transparator A.MIG-2016 to
create fine translucent effects. On the wings
I have drawn strokes in the direction of the
air flow to simulate the discoloration com-
mon to naval aircraft. These effects also
create greater chromatic richness across the
aircraft’s surfaces.

9 The same technique was used on the low-

er surfaces but I increase the amount of
Transparator up to 40% when working on
a lighter colored surface to reduce contrast.

10 11
I used the same tone to draw discoloration in specific areas noted from After perfectly masking and isolating the area that will be painted in
references of the F/A-18 such as the panels of the engine fairing. black, a very thin layer of Satin Black A.MIG-0032 was airbrush to pre-
vent creating a step at the edge of the mask.

THE WEATHERING MAGAZINE / MODERN WARFARE / 17

12
Using Medium Gunship Grey A.MIG-0204, the center of the black pan-
els were slightly lightened. Even though this is a shipboard aircraft, this
is also a squadron commander’s aircraft so it will not be terribly dirty and
discolored.
13
By adding a little Satin Black A.MIG-0032 to the Red A.MIG-0049, I
slightly shaded the airbrake as this surface suffers considerable wear.

Using the airbrush, I ap-

14 plied two very thin coats of
Alclad Aqua Gloss acrylic
varnish (ALC-600) and leave
the model to dry for at least
one day.

15 16
To highlight the panel lines in the black area, PLW Medium Grey The Panel Line Wash was left to dry for about 30 minutes, then

17 At this stage the excellent Cartograf decals included in the Kinetic
kit were placed on the gloss surface. After loosening in warm wa-
ter, the decal was transferred to the model with a clean brush
soaked in Micro Set.

Once all decals were placed, the next step was to varnish in matt
18
using Marabou enamel varnish. This product will allow me to work
on panels and seems using a pencil without it slipping across the
surface.

The varnish was left to dry completely before tracing over the
19
panel lines with the pencil. This can be a boring task but the result
is excellent.

20
At this stage I began to apply wear to the lower area by imitating the
staining around gear bay doors and engine fairings. The foundation
was applied with color Dunkelgelb AUS’44 DG III using the AMMO
reference A.MIG-0012.
21
The next color used was Oil Ochre A.MIG-0055, which was applied
towards the center of the stains applied previously. Shadow Rust
A.MIG-0043 was added and thinned with Transparator to apply a
fine line in the center of the stain.

THE WEATHERING MAGAZINE / MODERN WARFARE / 19

22
The next step was to apply fine staining of various colors using the
Oilbrusher range applied directly from the container. References show
common staining patterns on the upper engine fairings of the F/A-18.
To reproduce this effect, a small drop of Ochre color A.MIG-3515 was
deposited to the area.
23
Using a flat brush dampened with Enamel Odourless Thinner
A.MIG-2019, the staining was dragged towards the tail in the direc-
tion of airflow. If it is necessary to make corrections or intensify the
effect, we can always remove the effect or apply additional layers.

24 25

24
Next, I returned to the soft discoloration
previously applied with the airbrush to the slats
and actuators, I have deposited small drops of Oilbrusher
Starship Filth A.MIG-3513 to add stark contrast to the stain-
ing.

25
The effect was dragged towards the trailing edge using a dampened brush,
this time leaving more distinct streaking.

26
For the wing folding mechanism, staining was applied with Oilbrusher color
Dark Mud A.MIG-3508 by depositing a small amount on this area.

27
However, this time the color will be blended differently to produce a
different effect. Using a brush dampened with with thinner, the
brush was dabbed in a perpendicular motion until obtaining a
26 27
blurred stain.

20 / THE WEATHERING MAGAZINE / MODERN WARFARE

28
All vents were shaded by applying a small
amount of Oilbrusher Black A.MIG-3500 which
was diffused into the detail using thinner.
29
Using the same colors from previous steps, the accumulation of dirt was
further intensified on the lower fairing of the engines by dragging and
blending the colors towards the tail. These effects are common to a
wide range of naval aircraft and useful for many subjects.

30
A detail that we must not overlook when modeling US Naval aircraft is the characteristic
red border on the landing gear bay doors, this detail was simply applied with AMMO
acrylics and a fine brush.

In this picture you can see the

full payload of this F/A-18C.
31
When modeling these unique
aircraft, you must take into
consideration that the Navy
has its own weapons, always
check your reference materials
to determine the proper arma-
ment and colors to be used.

 HISTORY:
The Kamaz Typhoon (Russian: ÃÏÃÊ-63968 •ÃÌ×ÖÐ) is a family of Russian built multi-functional,
modular, armoured, and mine resistant MRAP vehicles. As of June 2018, the number of Typhoon-k
in the Russian Armed Forces fleet is about 290 units.
The development of the “Typhoon” vehicle family began in 2010, when Minister of Russian Fed-
eration Armed Forces approved the “Development of Russian Federation Armed Forces military
vehicles for the period until 2020” initiating the Typhoon MRAP program. In 2012 the first contract
Kreangkrai between Russian Ministry of Armed Forces and Kamaz to produce Typhoons was signed. By 2014,
Paojinda at least 12 Typhoons took part in Russian Victory Day military parade.

 THE BUILD AND PAINTS

1 For the build I utilized Takom’s Russian MRAP KAMAZ-63968 “Typhoon-K” released
in 2017. The kit is an excellent representation of the real thing directly from the
box with fine details for the drivers compartment and interior
troop transport sections. The lower side body
does have some ejection pin marks but
these are easy to remove by sanded.
I began with the assembly of the suspension
chassis, lower hull and interior, and kept the
build to an out-of-box affair. The upper and
lower hull sections were left separate un-
til after the interior is finished and the
road wheels were simply dry fitted
temporarily. Once test fitted, the
rubber wheels are not realistic look-
ing enough for my taste, so I modi-
fied them to create realistically sagged
& weight wheels shown in the following
steps.

2 Homemade realistically sagged

2 3
wheels began by drilling the
wheel drum at the centre of cir-
cumference.

3 Epoxy putty was used to fill the

inside of the rubber tires.

4 Before the epoxy was dry, I used

screw driver to attach to the rub-
ber tire to the rim to reshape the
profile.

5 Recreating the sagged wheels

was easy enough and the results
4 5 far more realistically depict the
weight of the vehicle.

6
Takom’s Typhoon-K kit features
really nice details and looks sharp with
a photo-etched grill set placed on the
roof top. Finally, the sagged weighted
wheels were test-fit before
painting began.

26 / THE WEATHERING MAGAZINE / MODERN WARFARE

 7
Once the kit was cleaned with soap and water, all surfaces were
primed and allowed to dry. I used various lacquer paints to rec-
reate the base steel and rusty shades that will be exposed from
underneath the base colour with the scratching and chipping
effects.

8
As I mentioned earlier, the interior must be painting
before the assembly is completed. Various acrylics from
AMMO by Mig Jimenez were used including Satin White
A.MIG-0047 mixed A.MIG-0008 Dunkelgrau in an
80%+20% ratio. The seats were painted with Russian
Green A.MIG-019 tinted with Dunkelgelb A.MIG-0011. I
also mixed White into this colour to create the highlight
tones while details were painted using a fine brush.

9 10
Once the base colours were dry, weathering of the interior began us- Once the washes fully dried, I added earth toned pigments especially
ing AMMO enamel weathering effects. One of my favourite weather- on the cabin and interior floor. This critical detail of human use was
ing sets, the DAK set A-MIG-7406 which includes North Africa Dust applied with Sand A.MIG-3012 and Dark Earth A.MIG-3007 soil toned
A-MIG-1404 was used to recreate the dust effect and A-MIG-1001 pigments. Pigment Fixer A.MIG-3000 was used to adhere pigments to
Africa Korps Wash mixed with A-MIG-1201 Streaking Grime for DAK the surfaces.
made the ideal colour of wash for grey base interior. A selectively
placed Light Rust Wash was applied as a panel line and pin wash for
realistic contrast.

11
Following the AMMO by Mig
painting guide included with the
Takom kit, I used Dark Green
acrylic A.MIG-0915 for the base
colour. By simply adding White,
I was able to create lighter tones
on the upper surfaces of the
vehicle exposed to direct sunlight.
The road wheels were base paint-
ed with Matt Black A.MIG-0046
for the rims and Rubber & Tires
A.MIG-0033 for the
weighted tires.
THE WEATHERING MAGAZINE / MODERN WARFARE / 27
12
Once the base colour paints had fully dried, I wet the surface with
Tamiya X20A and proceeded to recreate scratches and chipping using
a toothpick and a needle. First the acrylic layers were weakened and
loosened by the X20A thinner, then carefully a toothpick was used to
create chipping revealing the metal and rust tones underneath. Once
the process was complete, I sealed the model with semi-gloss clear.
14
The Streaking brusher tones were blended using a flat brush damp-
ened with Enamel Odourless Thinner. The application of these effects
is much easier and quicker thanks to the built in brush and accuracy of
colours directly from the container.
16
Next I applied various AMMO of Mig enamel effects to create some
light dust over the rooftop, I also randomly accented key features with
the darker brown tones A.MIG-1001 Africa Korps Wash mixed with
rust tones.
28 / THE WEATHERING MAGAZINE / MODERN WARFARE
13
Continuing with the exterior discolouration, AMMO by Mig Streaking
brusher paints were applied. This range is so fun and simple to work
with and can be applied straight from the jar. The colours Rust, Streak-
ing Dust, Medium Brown, Green-Grey Grime, and Cold Dirty Grey were
applied directly from the container using the built in brush. The colours
were streaked and blended with a clean brush using vertical strokes to
create the effect of streaked dirt and grime.
15
Again I added more layers of streaking dust, focusing the side skirt and
lower hull using A.MIG-1258 Streaking Dust.
17
By adding more A.MIG-1001 Dark Brown, the perfect colour for further
panel line washes was created to distinguish the vehicles shape.
 18
I began adding the first layers of dry mud effects on the lower chassis
using a combination of textured enamel Dry Steppe A.MIG-1751 and
Thick Soil A.MIG-1701 with Light Dust pigments moistened with thin-
ner which was flicked and splashed from a brush.
19
A similar process was used to recreate a darker mud tone and splashed
wet mud using Turned Dirt A.MIG-1753 and Wet Ground A.MIG-1755.
The mix created a truly realistic textured effect of splashed wet mud on
the smaller areas around the wheel wells.

20
The next step was to tie the road wheels
into the weathering beginning with a light
dust coating that covered the whole wheel
using Dry Steppe A.MIG-1751.
21
The effect of streaked light mud radiating
outward was added using Thick Soil from
the Heavy Mud line of textured effects
mixed with Light Dust to create realistic dry
mud tones.
22
Once the mud layers had fully dried, I recre-
ate more dust effects on the wheel surface
closer to the centre of the rim. A layer of
dry pigments provided a realistic look when
blended with the mud effects from the pre-
vious stages.

23 I replicated fresh wet mud on the out-

er tire tread surface using a pigment
mix and then I applied Damp Earth
A.MIG-1754 and more of the mud
tones A.MIG-1702 Turned Earth for
creating medium density damp and
wet ground.

23 24 24 Final touches on the road wheels

weathering process were added by
following reference photos of the real
armoured vehicle. Contrasting damp-
ness was applied on the road wheels
while keeping the effects random and
always radiating from centre using
A.MIG-2015 Wet Effects. This step
created truly authentic high contrast
between wet and dry areas.

25 Finally all of the road wheels were fin-

ished, the AMMO acrylic paints and
Weathering sets were quite simple to
use and the results very impressive.

26 At this stage the focus returned to the armoured body of

the Typhoon. I spraying the final dust application using
both A.MIG-1751 Dry Steppe and the pigment Light Dust
29 A.MIG-3002 diluted with enamel thinner to the approximate
consistency of a filter. The dust mixture was airbrushed over
the lower surfaces and allowed to dry for an hour, creating a
subtly realistic and completely matt effect.

27 For another contrasting layer, Wet Effects was mixed with

a little Streaking brusher colour A.MIG-1256 Green-Grey
Grime and diluted with enamel thinner. A fine tipped brush
was used to paint water marks in logical areas. I also diluted
the Green-Grey Grime colour and placed the darker wetness
into the seams which added volume to the wet effects. In
the photo you can see the high contrast between the lighter
toned pigment filter layer and the darker wet tones.

28 I also adding Wet Effects under the mudguard, lower hull,

30 and the chassis to depict the effects of water and wet mud
that has splashed and drained from the lower areas.

29 The same enamel Wet Effects were used to apply moisture

around the roof details. When painting the wet areas, keep
the effects placement and shape random and applied to logi-
cal areas.

30 Once all the road wheels were attached, the bulletproof

glass windows were tinted with Crystal Green acrylic colour
A.MIG-0092 and once dry, the small details were glued in
place. Time to add the finishing touches. For the final weath-
ering effects, I used Wet Effects mixed with a little enamel
Dark Brown Wash for Green Vehicles A.MIG-1005 and ap-
plied the wash mixture as a panel line and pin wash to areas
in need of further definition and contrast.

 During the Syrian civil war, the rebels widely used anti-tank guided missiles against the governmen-
tal forces supplied by the US and other external influences. To counter the TOW-2, the Syrian army
deployed the Sarab-1 defence systems which misguides the incoming missile. At the end of 2016, the
second version of the Sarab was delivered which looks like a regular cooking pot with a high number
of “windows” that increase the amount of disruptions. Now a new version named the Sarab-3 is in use
and features advanced defensive capabilities. The inspiration to make a model of T-72 with the Sarab
Sergey system had been with me for several years but I had limited time and could not find a suitable kit for
Golikov the project. Finally, I received the new kit T-72AV from Modelcollect (ref:UA72044 and decided to build
it with the addition of aftermarket components and scratch-built details.
Before beginning, I studied and analysed a large amount of reference material from Syria. While there are a lot of cam-
ouflage variants, the T-72AV often wear a plain sand colour with a distinct brown tint. To accurately recreate this colour,
I mixed A.MIG-030 Sand Yellow tinted with NATO Brown A.MIG-085. Furthermore, I carefully planned all effects that I
wanted to show on the model and how to go about applying each of them. To enrich the chipping of the top coat, I en-
hanced the black primer by adding protective green and some rusty areas. T-72AV has a very complex shape and it is hard
to show streaking effects on such model. Therefore, I focused on contrasts and attention to various specific elements to
deliver a dynamic finish. For finishing touches, I added water bottles, stones and rubble to reinforce the vehicle’s setting
to place it in the proper context.

While I’m looking for my next model project, I tend to look for unusual or uncommon vehicles, and engineering machinery
fits the bill perfectly and the M9 Ace with its very unconventional shape was ideal. Engineering vehicles fulfill a crucial
role for modern military missions and are used in all types of conflicts and environments, which makes them an ideal
choice for weathering and for a highly realistic scale replica. These machines are usually operated extensively, and you
can find numerous layers of effects to reproduce which gives miniatures a visually interesting and dynamic look. This time
I decided to reproduce a well-known photo with a 3 tone NATO camouflage which provides interesting contrast with the
sandy weathering.

 The tooling of Meng’s BUK is very fine and
sharp. The only upgrade here was to replace
a metal antenna. Because the suspension
and track-links are workable, you can easily
choose from a variety of postures. The cam-
ouflage scheme is from the Finnish forces
and provides strong contrast. It is similar to
but not the more commonly seen NATO tri-
Li Zhen Dong color and Russian tricolor camouflage. The
maintenance for this type of equipment is
usually perfect, so the weathering will be

been added to the chassis, while the hull re-
ceived dirt and rain marks to suggest that it
is operational.

 This project was a special challenge for me for two reasons. First of all, this is my first model ship
that I have completed, secondly as an armor modeler I am used to the significant wear and dirt that
cover most surfaces of the tracked vehicles. After reviewing the photographs of the CB-90 combat
boat on the internet, it quickly became evident that the joy in applying the effects should be for-
gotten. The photographs show neither spatter of paint, dirt, or any traces of rust. The structure is
probably made mostly of composites, aluminum, or well galvanized steel. Even such highly exposed
elements as the cleats do not have any paint chipping!

Basically, only the bottom of the boat exhibits typical marine wear resulting from crustaceans, salt,

and algae. Effects of use on the rest of the vessel should have been shown subtly but in a visually interesting way.
I decided to depict a boat belonging to the Greek Coast Guard with the designation number 136. To represent this specific
ship correctly, I had to make new side strips without an anchor because this unit has markings other than those included in
the kit. Additionally, I do not care for decals, specifically of this large size. My friend Krzysztof, who has been making laser
cut masks for me for many years, came to my aide with masking for this project. The CB-90 in Greek colors and markings
is perhaps not the most common with these flotillas, as there are only three of them. These are used by the Greek navy
patrolling their coast, a popular destination for immigrants fleeing the war in Syria. In this role, the CB-90 serves in a vital
role in modern warfare as a front-line defense against international terrorism.
