Here is the first braile scale kit I completed around 5 yrs ago. It is the UM T-34/76 m1940.

The kit went together pretty fast and was surprised to find the rubber 'tires' for the road wheels, i though a bit unusual! If any one wants to do a Burnt out T-34, the UM kits are great because of that reason. I did do some scratch detailing replacing all the tie downs with brass wire as well as for the headlight conduit , using arms of PE windshield wipers for the lift eyelets on the turret, as well as evergreen to detail the fenders as they had none. MV lens were used to replace the running lights, front and rear. I used Vallejo acrylics, oil washes and Mig pigments for the weathering. The two soldiers are from Revell, I modified the summer uniforms to the Russian greatcoats using Magic-sculpt! The base was made using plaster and a fire detector.
