August 22, 2026. The K2 is almost done! I worked on a few more details with paint today, starting with the wheels and track armor. I painted the wheel rubber using Italeri Acrylic 4861AP Flat Rubber and used Mr. Hobby H320 for the green antenna bases.

For the roof track armor, I used Italeri Flat Rubber for the pads and Mr. Hobby C28 Steel for the metal parts, Next, I tackled the hull details. I painted the bottom part of the driver's hatch in Tamiya LP-60 NATO Black since it will be left open, and painted the front flap and lower black flap area using Vallejo 70.862 Black Grey.

For the weaponry, I used Mr. Hobby C28 Steel and H320 on the .50 cal and ammo box as needed. I also tried something new using AK Interactive AKM034 Brass and AKM033 Copper acrylic paint markers to detail the individual ammunition rounds inside the box.

To finish up for tonight, I applied Mr. Color GX114 to the tank, wheels, hatch, and mirrors using light mist coats. I held off on the tracks and .50 cal for now, as I'll be using a different varnish on the gun assembly tomorrow.

I’ll leave the tank to cure overnight and check on it tomorrow. After that, just a few tiny details like the headlights and the weathering are left. Since I know many of you guys want to see it weathered, stay tuned!
