Soviet T-60 Light tank

The small light tank played a significant role in 1941-42 before numerous T-34 became available from evacuated tank plants. Unfortunately major manufacturers ignore this subject and only available kits are old, inaccurate and crapy. Mine RPM kit fearured generic PE fret, but is very far from being perfect, suffering from poor detailing and accuracy issues. And it was hard to find one on the net.
It took me a lot of time & scratchbuilding to finish it + several aftrermarket updates were used.
The first layer was modulated green color, followed by hairspray & white finish.
