The dust is AK Interactive European dust. I brushed it on wet earlier,and brushed a lot of the excess off earlier today.

Another what-if straight out of the box - looks good Zod :D
(Japan did get a Stug-IIIG as a sample.)

I don't much like jets in anime schemes but they could offer some spare decals for these AFV models ;)  It'd be nice to see this in a Japanese cam scheme - green & brown with the yellow stripes or a Cherry-blossom cam !!

Thanks Raafif.

A future whif is of a Tiger I in Japanese cam and markings. Right now the hold up is,no 1/48 Japanese wartime tank markings that I know of.

think you'll have to paint them yourself - even in 35th there's only a few kits of jap AFVs (Tamiya & FineMolds plus 2 resin kits of prototypes which don't have any decals.  Here's the Tamiya Chi-Ha decal ....

Have a look at ARC's tank drawings for a few ideas ...
