Before I started working on another Tactical Squad, I repainted a third Rhino-pattern tank of mine: a Vindicator. Check out all the angles and see what I changed after the jump.
Here is what the vehicle looked like before:
As you can see, I added side armour panels I had leftover from the Rhino I reworked recently (on which I used the Vindicator panels to represent extra armour, which is no longer a thing in 8th Edition) and added a Hunter-Killer Missile and Smoke Launchers. Then I removed the hand-painted chipping and replaced it with finer sponge-weathering. I refined a couple of highlights and details here and there and added squad markings.
What do you think? Was the rework worth it? Tell me in the comments below.

That's one sweet looking Vindicator. Your more recent weathering techniques definitely clean up the overall effect and raise the bar on the model. I hope you feel it was worth the effort.
