Hi sweeties!

I have been busy with the T-62 and I would like to share some results. Well, everything is still very basic but when the base is set, details are easy to add.

Hope you like it sofar, don't mind the masking tape





Cheers!

Hi Jurjen!

Looks really cool, wondering what you are doing with the engine bay. Nice fenders too.

Looking forward to see more,

Best regards,

Andreas

Hi guys!

At first I wanted to make an interior and engine bay but it proved to much work. With this model I want to try new things on painting and weathering. So no interior and engine!

I will keep you updated!

Great work Jurgen. Lets see - youve managed to use Fruil track, Armor Track Models resin sproket, Tamiya bins, Modelpoint mantlet cover(?) and a fair amount of scatchwork. Whats the deal with the card in the engine bay and the replacement fenders?

Im going to wait for the next version to come out before I pony up......

Hi guys!

New update I wasn't happy with the PE enginescreen because it is not correctly lined up. So I made a new one. This is what I mean:



I tried to make a new one, which I'm quite happy with. Not finished though!


Now up to the front hull...

Cheers!

Thanks guys! It is a real joy to build. Most time is going to add weld seams. Front hull is almost done and I will make some photos tomorrow.

Cheers and have a nice evening.

It looks good so far, can't wait to see more. Are those olive green parts from Tamiya T-55? How did you make those fenders? They look OK and I want to try something simmilar for my T-55. Best regards.

Lovely work to see, its great to see this progress!

Can't wait to see some paint on it. By the way I know what you mean about the interior. I decided to interior detail my T-55... it's taking rather a lot of work to paint!

Hi guys!

Thanks for your comments. The fuel lines are made from 0.2 lead wire. I tried to use solderwire, but it is too soft though..Same wire is used for the headlight guard.

Cheers!

I'm still doubting about the paintjob. I think I'm going to try something different than the usual green colours. Maybe a winter, whitewash version or a sand-coloured vehicle. Choices, choices...

What would you guys would like to see? Desert or Winter? Let me know!

Good work, Jurjen I'm guessing it's going to be blown up/abandoned tank at the end?
