OK, not really. Me playing around with photoshop. The lump is a trumpy 1/35 AS-90, RB Barrel, Edurad tin and Bronco tracks. It was supposed to be a quick build after a mammoth 1/8th fokker triplane, and, well, wasn't.

Nice work Nick!!! I've been working on one too and this inspires me to get busy. I noticed you fixed the smoke launchers..looks great! Did ya just add styrene plates behind them?

What paint did you use for your finish..looks very good

Paint is tamiya acrylic over surfacer. The eduard kit fixed the smoke launchers.

Build is here if you're interested:-

Thanks for looking

Nice work on this model Nick. There are a couple of errors that are easily fixed which is that the drivers periscope housing should be moved backwards and placed just in front of the drivers hatch, and the travel cradle arms are too long as the legs should have been shortened.

I picked up on the travel clamp issue already and have shortened it - you can't really see it in these pictures. Periscope housing is a good spot, I did miss that one.

Nick I did a build review of the Trumpeter AS90 here in which I highlighted all the corrections I came across, I even used the same barrel as you did.

Had you not said it is a model, I would have never believed it. Excelent painting and weathering.

Nice idea, often wondered what a T34 would look like rumbling down my road, think there's some mileage in this one.

Holy Crap!! Nice build, had me jealous for a moment there!!! One thing I noticed-it needs all the crappy buildup from firing on the muzzlebrake. just my half cents worth. Great build!!!!
