VERY nice work. Really good looking PT-76 model. Which Photo-etch set did you use, Lionmark? Also, are the tracks from the kit? They look like it, but I could be wrong...

Isn't it the model that popped up on E-bay some few weeks before Trumpy's release? I like how you did weathering, very convincing. On the down side, the Soviet Navy banner on left side is mirrored and those track bands ought to be replaced replaced with something more detailed.

This set of PT-76B was last year before model going on the market I attained factory experimental mold, therefore, did not have PE, I used PE was looks from the surplus PE components. The suite necessary caterpillar band is the rubber, I changed into the SAM-6 splicing caterpillar band.

Ha-ha, I use the Soviet Navy colors and the vehicles number, is looks from the DML surplus label, therefore is not too appropriate

Your PT-76B looks great. I especially like the mud. Good job. I havn't built the PT-76 yet but I intend to do at least one, and maybe two; I hope mine turn out as nice.

Lin-- you did it again! What a superb job. I assume that you created the metal parts. Is this correct or did you find them somewhere?
thanks
