Istvan,
Great looking tank. I especially like the home made bison insignia and paint scheme.

Hi all. I am going to be building Tamiya's Panzerkampfwagen 35(t).



The color scheme will be gray. The kit provides markings for three victims: Poland, France and Russia. I'm leaning towards the Russian campaign so I can cover up my mistakes with lots of Jerry cans and stowage. I am eying the link and length tracks warily

I am really enjoying the builds here.

Istvan - Nice job on the photo-etch and paint job. Your 7TP looks terrific.

Delbert - Looking forward to your AK Interactive demonstration. I have been eying those kits too.

Irvin,

really nice work with the photoetch!

Nathan,

an interesting subject, with Hungarian relation, as this vehicle was the base of the Turan tank in Hungarian army. Ironically some versions with 75mm short barrel was defined as heavy tank...

Istvan,

I know very little of the history, but I imagine Skoda must have been keeping an eye on the development of the Polish 7TP. They look so similar. I did not know about the 35(t) Turan connection. Those Zrinyi assault guns look awesome! I hope we see styrene kits of these tanks in the near future.

Hi Nathan,

Bronco's teaser boxart looks very promising, at least the Zrinyi could be released soon in styrene, and it also might turn into a Turan family as well...

Thanks for everyone for the kind words!

I have started to build the dio related to the 7TP, so if anyone interested, follow my build log at:

Hi eMan,

Really nice job on the weathering. Was the base colours painted with brush or airbush?

Hi Peelou75
The Type 94 was painted with airbrush and then hand painted with several tones of dirts to make the weathering.
cheers.

Terrific job. I can almost hear the clatter of the tracks on the cobblestones.

Yep I took the plunge after reading a lot in my new FAQ2 book. I just hope the wife don't see the invoice.. LOL

And for those interested I plan to show the results here as well as going into great detail with lots of photos on my websites build blog for this kit..

although at the rate I am going on the track links that may be a while..

Delbert


Delbert,also watch out for that AK track wash,it is a great color but it melted the glue holding my magic tracks in a few places,it's hot stuff so use it sparingly

Big John,

Fantastic M5A1 Big John. Its one of my all time favorite tanks and you did a superb job! The finish is perfect and the mv lens is always a nice touch. What is your source for the base work I'm looking for some good cobblestone road.
