Hello,
I have posted a painting guide for painting soviet armor relatively fast.
There was some debacle with the mat varnish due to humidity but this was salvageable. I really went for quality of quantity. Honestly, I don't have time anymore to spend 4 hours per tank. link

Very nice I'm painting Soviets at the moment. I don't have quite as many tanks as you do though (just the seven) |

Those look really good. I like the flag on the commander's T-34. Mike |

Very good job. Glad you could salvage the paintjobs. |

Great tutorial. Like you I prefer dark brown for the primer/pre-shade. Think first got this technique from a Resistant Rooster tutorial for figures? I find the dark brown from the Krylon cammo range, available at WalMart among other places, works great. |

You can save some time by not putting red stars on them. The Soviets didn't unless it was lend-lease or captured. |

While unusual it was not unprecedented for Soviet tanks to carry the red star. For example the 30th Guards Tank Brigade carried a prominent red star over the Guard Banner on the side of the turrets of their T-34s. The 27th Guards Separate Heavy Tank Regiment carried two red stars on each side of the turrets of their IS-2s. In Stalin's Heavy Tanks 1941-1945 by Concord, on page 32, is a picture of an SU-152 with what appears to be a red star outlined in white (picture is B&W so hard to confirm color) on the side of the superstructure. |

My bad – I should have said "…didn't USUALLY unless it was lend lease.." 27th Guards is kinda cool if you want something different to break up the monotony of olive drab. BTW I use that dark brown Krylon for priming figures too, it is excellent stuff! |

If you get bored with 4BO then try the 347th Guards Hvy SP Regt – 4 colour camo, with sand, tan and black – very fetching :-) No red stars though |
