August 11, 2026. Today I finally sprayed the green base coat over the entire tank! I’m building a 2023 Polish K2 from the 20th Bartoszycka Mechanical Brigade in Morąg.

The first 180 K2s delivered to Poland arrived in standard three-colour NATO camo (black, green, brown) to match their existing armour. I’ve always really liked the classic NATO look, and since it’s still actively used alongside newer Polish patterns, it’s a spot-on choice for this kit.

I originally started on the lower hull with Tamiya LP-56, but ran dangerously low mid-spray and switched to Mr Hobby Aqueous H320 Dark Green.

Thankfully, the shade looks fantastic. It dries semi-gloss, but a flat clear coat before weathering will fix that easily. All that’s left for now are a few quick airbrush touch-ups on the turret, so work is still in progress

As for the diorama, I got the wooden base which I will be using and my blue XPS foam has arrived as well. Once the K2's camo gets more worked on, I’ll start cutting and shaping the terrain for the diorama
