Well, at least I think this is as t-62. It's old. I decided to try to make a dirty vehicle this time. Please forgive the missing wheel, this kit was put away for some time and things were lost. Also, expect pictures of my Marder II diorama soon, complete with ancient tamiya figures! Enjoy.

Haha yeah. I'm thinking of putting it on a base but I'm not sold on that idea yet.

Arrggh, that sounds so cool! And for the explanation of the "Arggh", I'm getting surgery on my right hand on April 1st, and I'm right handed. I will have a cast for two months and those will be 2 months during which I can do no miniature work at all. I have to finish a diorama for my father's birthday on April 21st, which will probably take 5-6 days so I only have a few days free to finish my Marder II. SO I won't be able to start a diorama with this.

Very nice weathering job , Kieran, that's the late 70s Tamiya kit right ? Mine sure doesn't look like that. . For a diorama you could remove the mg , set the vehicle into the terain ,looking like its been there for some time, burying that bare axel in the mud / dirt , wrap a length of track over the rest of the wheels and it would look like some of the stuff abandoned in Afganistan. There' s some photos in the gallery ,look in the reference section at the t-34 t for example. Just an idea....Jim

That sounds really wonderful Jim. When I'm fixed I think that's exactly what I'll do. And yes, it was the late '70's kit, I found it in the back of my hobby store for a good price and decided to try some cold war armor on for size. Painting was pretty simple, I'm honestly surprised how it turned out as I was just experimenting.
