in the new Tankograd book on the T-62 there is a photo of a T-62 tied to a T-80 which has been painted in bright colours with butterflys etc.
My daughter is to build my old Tamiya T-62 and would like to paint it in those bright colours.
Are there any photo's available of this T-62 monument to world piece display in Kiev?

thanks
Phil

Hi Phil

I haven't seen the new Tankograd book yet so I don't know if this is what you're looking for but here are some flower tanks from Kiev. They might inspire your daughter, and others too for that matter...

On a similar vein there is a T-34 in London thats covered in graffiti, it's constantly repainted by different artists. A friend of mine who is a photographer took a load of photos as a walkaround, he has them in his flickr gallery:
