Tamiya and Testors are both good.

I use Tamiya paint jars with regular brushes.

Practice makes perfect. Just do a base primer coat with a single paint colour. Then you can move to better paint jobs.

> The T-34 – widely considered to be the best tank of the Second World War

HAHAHA. No.

Even if its production wasn't marred by incompetence nearing seditious, it wasn't the "best" of anything. Later variants were better than others, but it was still simply good enough, such that they could make a whole helluva lot of them; that is what it was for in the first place. Every aspect was inferior in some way: the armor quality, equipment, crew comfort and ergonomics, gun, sights, the shells and their fuses. Hardly was it the "best" at anything, except being deploy en masse to overrun positions, as it was designed to do, and goddamn did it do that well. You really don't need to be "the best" when you got a couple hundred converging on the same objective.

That aside: Hell yeah, IS-7! Gimme dat russian bias! I needs it!

Edit: Oh no! Downvotes for stating well documented facts! The armor and welds were crap, the optics were crap, the transmission and gearbox were crap, the crew ergonomics were crap.
