Hi all..
Well...Happy Easter to all of you...currently,I'm working on this,a finnish T-72.(yes the one with splinter camo).Turret comes from Blast models,tamiya donor kit..previously I've posted pics of reworked fender that ,after some research and helps from you,needs to be more deeper respect my original attempt.Lots of things to do.I want to set this in an abandoned area and while he's waiting to be scrapped(I saw a video of Finns that destroyed their own tank...so from here,my idea).

Please,suggestions are welcome.
Happy day to all of you!
Ciro






Previous attempt.

Hi all....a little update,it starts to have some details...who knows?!
Well...it needs more and more details,I've applied a light coat of paint only to be more visible errors or points that are in need of filling sanding ecc ecc...

Ciro

Cool, I was thinking about doing a Finnish T-72, I will be watching this with great interest. Could you elaborate on the specifics of the Finnish model, or divulge some sources? Thanks in advance, keep up the good work!

Hi Ciro,

Very interesting build.

Finniish vehicles are not often depicted by modelers while the splinter camo is awesome !

Have you been a bit farther in your build ?

Keep it up !

Regards,

Richard

Good stuff Ciro I'll keep an eye for this. I have some t-72s in the early stages of planing.

Too busy with many things...I hope to move on and complete(and set) these kind of details.
BM turret is really good product,I've also JS models turret(thank you again Olli!)that has the same high standard moulding.
Up to now no other details....I hope in the next weeks to do some work
Thank you to all.

Ciro,
Nice work (as usual)! It does seem that your Tucha smoke tubes are mounted a bit too flat; they should be mounted with a steep angle instead of forward. I think this picture will help.

I m anxious to see your splinter work.....
