Hi there

This is an old Tamiya T-62 A kit recieved as a gift. The tank was bulit OOB except for the camo netting, gun manlet cover and the sandbag. Headlight guard was scrapbulit using copper wire with a thinner diameter.

This kit always gets panned as inaccurate but it still looks the part.

Nice job - looks like you've gone for some sort of Mid-Eastern vehicle maybe?

Hi James & Steve

Thanks for your comment and encouragement....

Yup, Middle-east color scheme.
The camo netting was in fact used to cover up the not so perfect plastic part of the gun mantlet on that kit.

Also thanks James for relinking the image for mi
