Hi Nikita. Good job on the old Zvezda kit. The weathering and beat-up look are excellent. The tracks are floating a bit on the right hand side ... lets down the finished model a bit ... should be an easy fix though!!

Looks good well done. Some of the pics look a little glossy is it just the pictures?

Nice work. How was it to build? I have one of these and a DML T 34/85 in my stash and was considering a simultaneous build at some stage.

Thanks! I know about the tracks. When I have been photographing this t34 I have casually touched them and has shifted, but has seen it only in photos.

Great finish! Only one thing wrong I think. Why carry half a tree around? 1st very heavy 2nd hard to lift onto tank, 3rd diching logs yes, but a tree, dont think so. only a small problem, love the rest. love the heavy cast,worn, bleached colour, and the track that Frank pointed out. LOL Geraint. Going out now to get Happy Christmas

Hi, Merry X-mas. Great looking T-34.
My thought was that the rear exhausts might be sticking out horizontally too much. Also the driver's hatch could be open or the armored periscopes opened to allow sight when the tank is in motion.
Congrats on the finish, Greg
