#ba-6

Not a huge thing really, I just painted some bits in fully as red while also putting a big red star on the top rear of the turret so it works as an aerial recognition flash.

But still. Here’s my People’s Assault Column BA-6 armoured car, sitting at... I’d say 80% complete. Have some environmental stuff to add in, i.e. mud and dust from the road on the lower part of the vehicle, scuffs and bangs on the hull and small bits of peeled paint on the edges, etc.

Not sure how easy it is to tell in this photo, but I applied a wash of Agrax Earthshade to the BA-6. Just need to let it dry now, then I’ll drybrush some highlights, then some weathering, paint up the wheels and then I’ll paint on the details.

And that’s the drybrushes done. Now I just need to wash it, either with Agrax Earthshade or Nuln Oil.

Now I’m unsure whether I would need to buy the Guide to the People’s Armies to figure out what insignia to paint or whether to just go with my idea of a simple red star on the turret and paint PAC (People’s Assault Column) on the rear of the hull.

Now just to figure out what colours to paint it in. Maybe just block Soviet green with the PAC iconography on it.

For the model itself, the wheel axles are a wee bit hit and miss since the bit where the wheels are glued to seem to be at an angle.
