1/48 Minicraft T-34 Mentor

Post by keavdog »

This is the nicest Minicraft kit I've built. Really fun build and my first time using MRP paint - which sprayed like a champ right out of the bottle. All together a great build. I wanted to pose the canopy open but the kit just didn't agree. One more for my trainer collection :)
Despite putting a bunch of weight in the nose, she's still a tail sitter :/

And the Flory wash :)

It looks really really good. Not sure if I ever heard of MRP paint are they fairly new?

That Mentor looks very sharp! The change from sludge wash to final photo is major! Very nicely done! :shoutout:

That's a very nice one! Copy your thoughts about MRP. I think there is no competiotion on the market when it comes to the coverage of their yellow and other bright colors. Simply outstanding.
