Here is my T-34/85 under construction.. I'm using Aber PE a JR barrel and Moskit exhausts on it ..
I still need to add the brackets for the fuel tanks. I havn't completed putting PE on the turret yet.
tell me what you guys think.. i know that there is still work to be done, IE the gaps where i cut off the square fenders and added the round ones.. without further ado here are the pics!





and there you are!
Lord WWH got your paint today thanks

Lord John aka "Da Aftermarket Dude":

You are doing well here, and its obvious you have put a lot of work into this one. Looks like you've nailed the storage boxes, -- the small deck grills look good --- and the JR barrel's are always a nice touch----you've got to be pleased with this one so far :-) .

Glad you got the paint---maybe in chat we can talk about your paint ideas when you get a chance.

Love that Russian armor -- "beefy" (++)

Looks great I saw the model at the shop.
really I did not like it too much.
reminds me of The Italeri and Zelda kit same color.
But I still might get it.
You are doing a nice job on it I can't wait to see the paint applied.
I do have to hand it to you using the Aber grills with the wire to boot #:-) #:-)
Center ones I was looking at it yesterday crazy that idea of either grill I would of choose the Easy one.
well keep us posted plus any hangs in the build. (++) (:-)

Lordette Johnny,

Looking really good, the PE, the overall build. I was attempted to get this kit, but I thought to myself, why waste money on stupid tanks whilst I can buy myself a nice plane.

But yours come out real nice.

Lord AASG-

I like the look of brass on an unpainted tank - don't you :-)

Looks most excellent - I especially like the rear deck screen. That adds 100% to the overall look of the model. It's hard to tell from the pics, but it looks like you "flattened" them out a bit - verie nice!!! Those T-34's were often piled with riders and those screens got "bent in" quite often. Super touch!

Later-
Lord Nelson :-)

Good luck and have fun,
