Only recently discovered this forum, so this is my first effort on here

This is the PST T-55 built straight from the box. The general fit of the kit is good but it lacks some detail. A PE sheet and some new tracks would be needed to turn this into a showpiece model.

Its finished in Vallejo and Tamiya paints and weathered with Mig pastels.







Any comments or suggestions welcome

I think that is a very fine job for a box-stock kit build. It looks very convincing for Braille scale, even for a 1/35 build it would be nice. I really think the weathering had a good feel to it which really helps. I don't think the PE was necessary, but I'll agree that the tracks seem a bit thick or poorly detailed. I'd like all mine to turn out just a good though!

I agree with Ken, it's a very nice build, tracks are not perfect but still look good. Weathering also turned out nice.
