There were some troubles with turret touching surroundings while rotating. Some polishing fixes it. Be careful!

At the end, putty was meaningless: the turret hides almost all imperfections.

Masks.... And only 2 required projections.... of 5.

I printed list from trumpeter or meng kit, but it was useless: it was for slightly other machine. Actually almost all photos were from the same point, so I used imagination and created average pattern.

Masks for turret....

Second color.

More masks! More! And marks for desired areas

Well... Could be worse.... Highlights? What is it?

And with tracks

Well, I think 1/72 isn`t my scale for such color patterns. Painting T-14 was much easier. But maybe I should say it for any scale with tons of masking.

Be careful, pin on wheel for track orientation isn`t a good idea.

I like schemes with broken lines, so it will be RAE scheme!

I would need a pair of binoculars to work in this scale. Leaning over your right shoulder so watch your right elbow please!

Don`t hurry, Peter, sit down, please, make yourself comfortable,I will begin painting closer to the end of the month, as I finish with the exams.
And I also wanted to finish painting one red robot before February for group build, so this will also delay me a little. 🤔

I think my mistake was to use semi transparent color for highlights, which lead to thick layer of paint, and which was the reason for leaks.
