I do like odd-bods - 1950's Yugoslav Type A tank.  In an effort to boost local jobs, they designed a better ballistic T-34 -new upper hull, turret & a modified gun for better range.  Unfortunately it wasn't better enough to make it worth while - only 6 built.
I have a limited edition 1/35th plastic & resin kit.

I’m happy to see this build back in action! I’d go with overall black but that’s just my $0.02.

Redesignated from SR-93 to SR-90 cuz 19 + 71 = 90.

After loooong string of interruptions FINALLY back to building.  Been fiddling with color schemes and wrestling paint demons.  Since current paint aint crinkled probably call it good.
Tried letting some of tan drift forward.  Kinda like effect or could go for hard departure.
Four tape strips on top of fuselage cover vents and will come off revealing black.  Mostly have exhaust, landing gear, decals to do.
Look forward to finishing and moving on to completing some partially builts.  Maybe do Swords-to-Plowshares.
