That looks really nice. I like the worn look you have achieved. Nice weathering there.
Sure looks better than the one I built !
Thanks for the photos.

Great paintjob and weathering!
I love the look of the Panzer IV cupola on the turret, it gives the T-34 an interesting shape, the weldseams look awesome, too.

Very nice

Great work Jurjen,

I like the way you have weathered it and the tracks look really well done also. A great worn and weathered beast.

Good show Jurjen.

Great subject and great model. You couldnt have done a better job. Nice weathering. The panzer cupola really adds to the model. Good job

Thats one nice T34 you've got there Jurjen. Youve done a slendid job of weathering, all the wear and tear is showing through, as well as the dust and dirt. I like the broken engine grill, nice touch. I would have made the German markings and new cupola a little cleaner to show its under new ownership.

Hi guys!

Thanks for all the comments Maybe I'll write an article about my KV but the greatest challenge to write it is because of my poor english. Maybe I'll do a similar subject, like weathering a T34/85 turret i.e.

But I'm always willing to answer some questions!

Great looking captured T-34/76, Jurjen. The weathering effect you have going here is excellent. I really like how you have traces of the Winter white-wash camo, that appears faded away.

I think if I were modelling a T-34/76 with this much wear and tear on the paint, I would have made the fenders (esp the front ones) look damaged. This is just my opinion, and I'm not trying to take away from the great work you have done.

Keep up the excellent work !

Cheers !!

Thanks for your comments!

It would indeed be more logical to give the fenders some (small) damage. I find it hard to give plastic damage, I would rather use aluminium foil or brass for that. much more easy

Hehe, you're right Jim. The Notek light broke off

Thanks!

Hi ,
It's really a great job !

But what type of T34 is it ? For me only T34 mde 43 get a cupola and your tank seems to be a mde 41 !!!

But may be I'm wrong T34'sfamilly is so complicated
