My latest model - Trumpeter's 1/35 Polish PT-76 built for Cold War Campaign

Of course criticism is welcomed

Hi
it looks nice with a fine weathering. Are the tracks those of the kit ?

Yes, these are the kit supplied rubber tracks, and yes, they can be glued with plastic glue, and yes they can be painted, but paint will peel off when you bend them to place around sprocket and idler wheels

Really nice build ! . Are you aware you can get AM tracks for this?. There was one in a model mag and I cannot remeber which mag. It may of been TMMI and he used AM tracks on his but for the life of me I cannot remember what make they are

Yes, I'm aware of that. Fruil and Jadar Hobby make tracks for PT-76 but they cost at least the same as the kit itself, besides I wanted to check them. In my previous builds with vinyl tracks used I had no problems with paint peeling off so giving them a try seemed not a bad idea. The mag you refering to is MMI and I think that moddeler used Jadar's tracks. I have that issue but thanks anyway

Not a problem it was a suggestion.

Awesome work and I really can't find any fault with it at all! Mainly because I do like the PT-76 and BMP-1 very much.

Thanks for sharing!
