Excellent job on this kit. Did you use any AM additions? If not you have done magic with the tracks. I build this kit a year ago, so I know what a dog it can be.

Anyway, excellent job and a fantastic result. Especially considering the kit.

Great job!
I guess you have seen the building of the EE PT-76 shown on a Steel Masters issue, the livery is the same and the weathering is quite similar!

Exact it is mine, which was published in STEELMASTER and in the German version. I'm glad you like it is a model very pleasing to climb.

Very nice work. I especially like the footprints on the rear deck...very convincing.

I also agree that the figure looks a bit spooked! ("Ivan, you are on Kandid Kamera! Prepare to be shot!")

Did you use a particular tool for the footprints, or just the figure?

Congratulations!
It had something familiar indeed... the only thing that was missing was the figure, and I noticed the tracks seem a bit less "sprinkling" and more regular!

Your PT-76 looks great! Where did you get the machine gun? Is it a MiG Productions?

I like everything about it ... even the figure! Very convincing dusting effect too!
