Finally got around to finishing this T-62. Nice Trumpeter kit built OOB, Dragon styrene figures and Hornet heads. First time to use Vallejo for faces...look forward to mastering the acrylic approach. Now, if I could only master taking photos . omments welcome.

I think the guy with the flag would make a nice target. But, who knows. Maybe their opponents are blind.

Good finish, I know nothing about T-62s except that I have one in my stash

The result on the faces is terrific- well done.

Very nice depiction of a t-62, the weathering is spot on.
Matt, this is probably a scene from a war game. I heard that the Soviet tank crews were trained to communicate by using flags. Its a tradition from WW2 when they did not have radios.

The figures on the box were depicted like that so I assumed it to be some war game signalling. Obviously, they are not in any combat zone.

Cracking job. Lovely finish on the tank, and the faces are top-notch.
