Just a quick update on this project.
The sanding/cleaning is done. Small modifications have been made (the muffler was replaced and the stowage bin on the turret was removed).
I did the base coat, color modulation and I applied the decals. The model is now varnished, ready for weathering and white washing (winter camouflage).
I sculpted a new barrel to replace the missing one. It is not 100% accurate, but with the snow and debris I am planning to put on the tank in the upcomming diorama, I guess it won’t matter that much.
I am also currently painting many little accesories to add as stowage on the engine deck (jerrycans, crates, bags, etc.)
So far, so good.
Here are 2 pictures (before/after):
