The Build

I have had great fun while building the Type 90. This beautiful tank from Japan has been a great build for me. Tamiya has done an awesome job on creating this perfect kit. It builds very nice and everything is very straightforward!

On this tank I experienced with mud for the first time. I used a mix of plaster, acrylic paint and wood glue for this.

After applying the mud I added several washes of oil paint to it to get the right color and depth in it. After the mud was done I sprayed a very thin layer of mud color acrylic paint over the model with my airbrush to blend it all together.
