Hi, regards from Milan,Italy. This is my last model, T-34/76 called " The third owner". Made after I saw a foto of ( may I say this one? ) tank entering Trieste first days of may 1945. It was captured by germans and used in north-est Italy ( Udine ) against partisans. At the end of april, it was captured by Yugoslav People Army and used against german army.
Scale is 1/72 ( I used several kits for it - Dragon / Trumpeter / UM / ACE ), figures are Caesar's and Preiser, rest of the scene is home-made.
















Hope you like it . . .

1/72?

When i saw the pics I thought it was a 1/35 diorama....
The tank depicted is very interesting and that's a well done work indeed.
Congrats...

Ciao

amazing work for this scale, the figures are nicely done especially considering their size. also think the sign for the store is a great addition from your photo reference and the metal door shutters are very well painted... they capture the texture of the material you used incredibly. thanks for sharing this project with us. cheers, bd.

Very nice and interesting history as well. The building looks awesome as well. Nice scracth work with the stone work and the lettering. Is the second last letter "I" or "J"? Looks like a "J" to me.

Excellent work - especially in 1/72. you must have eyes like a hawk to paint detail in that scale.
