Nice one, Dani. How was the kit to build? The tracks look great and your tow cables are nice and rusty. I never knew the Russians had flamethrower tanks. Thanks for sharing.

Cheers,
Jan

Cool build Dani,

I too wasn't aware that the Russians fielded any other flamethrower tanks besides the T-34's. This is the first time I am seeing a Heavy class tank with the flamethrower. Nice touch on the charred front armour plates. I have got to get me one of these huge cigar lighters ('let's go and find something to burn').

Thanks for sharing your build.

Thanks!
The kit was easy to ensemble and fit togheter very well...only the tracks need more work,because they are length by length.
Here is the tank:

Dani,

Thanks for the link. That sure is an exact likeness of your build and a nice reference website of Russian armour.
