HAHA my first ever 1/72 scale tanks as always constructive criticism welcome! the first is a hasegawa tiger ausf e,the second is an eastern express T-34 enjoy!

hey i like it very much they are really cool. i can;t belive they're the first. but u could make some space there before taking the photoes. :-)

Dave ..did you notice that T-34 aiming your keyboard I am not familiar to 1:72 scale armor but they look great..congrats..how many months it took to build them :-)

hehe actually I built them in 3 days I have way too much time on my hands.....did the T-34 while watching an old polish mini series wich translates to 4 tank crewmaen anfd a dog....used a real T-34 hehehe

These guys look very nice. A couple suggestions, though. In this small a scale, you need to be very, very subtle in your weathering, so you might want to tone down the rust. What I've seen that is very effective is very light drybrushing on all the raised edges. Shouldn't the interior or the hatches be the same color as the exterior of the Tiger? Keep up the good work. :-)

:-) Nice small scale tanks, airworrior.

Really nice Airwarrior! Does the Tiger come with those figure?

This reminds me that we should have a 1/72 scale campaign. It wouldn't have to last for more than two weeks. What do you guys think??

that would be fun, and interesting! #:-) and yes the tiger comes with the small tiny and hard to paint figures #:-)

Airwarrior also submitted a nice review of his Eastern Express T-34 - just posted to the Armor Review section this afternoon.

I would have done one on the tiger but The T-34 seemed to be a little more fun......hmmm......and submitting 2 articles at once would have been a little much....

any more response? If not......... ..................hehehehe

I'm getting in a little late
The construction and overall painting is really good. I agree with Al on the rust (the red parts). It jumps out at you in such small scale. Maybe a wash over it would tone it down a bit if you really wanted to fix it.
They're really cool, I've seen 1/72 kits at stores but never purchased one, these may get me to do that.

Good job
