August 15, 2026. Over the past week, I have been working away on the camouflage. After fully coating the tank with Mr Hobby H320 Dark Green as the base colour last week, I added a few more light layers of the same green to build up the colour.

For the camouflage pattern, I tried using AK Camouflage Elastic Putty (AK8076). Personally, I have mixed feelings about the product. It can get quite sticky quite quickly, especially in a warm environment, so I had to be more careful while working with it. That said, some of the patterns would be extremely difficult to paint freehand, so I’m still happy I gave it a try.

For this build, I ended up using a combination of the putty and freehand airbrushing, which I think worked out pretty well.

For the next colour, I went with Tamiya LP-60 NATO Black. As I mentioned in a few previous posts, I really like this colour for the K2 because it isn’t completely black it’s dark enough without being too harsh.

I then used Tamiya LP-57 Red Brown, which is another colour I really like. After finishing the camouflage, I’m very happy with how the overall pattern turned out.

The next stage will be adding weathering and painting further details. For now, I’m finally leaving the K2 to cure overnight before moving on to the next stage!
