Painting APCs and a Tank

Painting some Cold War Soviet armored personnel carriers.

BTR 50.

MTLB.

Some of these models are die cast, some are soft metal, some are resin.  Nearly all have been in my collection since the early 1980.

They have waited a long time for primer and paint.

My Chinese T54 upgrade.  See here the lower hull has been glued on and a bit of sheet plastic covers the gap between the front and rear lower hull parts.

I changed the pin on the bottom of the turret to fit a new tube on the upper hull.

If the outdoor lighting is not just right these sometimes look gray when they are dark green and vice versa.  I think the upper photo shows the tank in gray primer and the lower photo shows the tank in dark forest green.  Probably.
