Hey guys,

Here are the photos of the progress i made till now.
On special request ( hey Jeremy )

The left door you can only make it in the cosed position out of the box. I wanted to make the door in the open position. Also made some bad paint job structure on the door...


The lead foil fender with the T-34 headlight and wiring...


The undercarriage. I made some extra styrene on the lead foil to make it more stronger to fit on the model...


Here you see the petrol tank inside the model. i got this from a other build log.
The bullet splash guard by the turret was a bit off scale, so i cut the of with a chisel and replaced these with some styrene strips. The damage to the guard is made by a German stiel handgranade...


The spare wheel holder is also a bit off scale and scratch build this one also.


The last one is from the rear back.


I hope you like it... I am going on a vacation now.

Regards,

Remco

Well done Remco. you've been doing a great job so far

To be honest i didn't think that are necessary all that improvements. at a first glance I thought it was a good model also OOB

Anyway, thanks for sharing your build, i'll follow for sure when I do mine

Cheers and have fun on holiday

Hey guy's,

I am back from my vacation.

I think i got a luxeryproblem... I am building different models at the same time and 24 hours in a day, so i have to chose with what i continue...
Also i just bougth a house, so i am verry busey with the admin on that...
Little time i have for modeling so progress is slow...

Back to topic,

I recentley bought a base for the dio and have found a tree (2 pieces in a box) from verlinden i want to purchase. The tree is a bit basic and simple, so i bought some leaves from Joefix in Belgium... The leaves looke ok, but are a bit to thick i think. I going to use them becouse the best leaves are from plusmodels. But the price of plusmodel is aprox. 4 a 5 euro a box, and i need a lot of them to make realistic tree that wil cost (with treeprice a 26 euro) 100 euro. A bit to much for me

Tips for making a tree i have, but new tips are always welcome. Its my first.

Regards,

Remco

Very good!
Hopefully it will be useful.

Dmitriy,

Thanks for the link!

Seeing so much foto's, i got a bit confused about the colors of certain parts.
- The wheels were they black or green?
-Inside of the doors and visors for the driver, are the white or green? I know that some T-34 had the driver hatch and gunner and commander hatches were sometimes green like the outside.
I painted the doors and driver visors white on the inside...

Remco

Yes, the wheels and the car frame were painted black, he is brilliant.
The doors and visors the inside was painted green.
All as in the photo.
Regards, Dmitry.

O, no...

I painted the doors white...And the right door is already glued to the body...
The photos i used, they revealed that the doors and visors were white on the inside.
The wheels and frame were in the green color. I did not paint that yet...
Hmm, i don't know witch glue i used, tamiya or zap a gap...
I painted the inside of the door before gluing it to the model... so i can try to cut the door open

In a nutshell,
-The frame and the wheels black...
-Doors and visors green...
-The turret inside green...

To do list,
-Create a machine gun magazine holder in the hull..
-Create a fuel pipe in the hull from back to engine.
-Some detailing in the turret like handholds and maybe magazine holders, if they ware there.

Regards,

Remco

Very nice pics Dmitriy and very useful site, thanks a milion

Mauro, the doors can be painted in white or in green, no problem at all, the same for the turret.

What's the progress so far mate ?

looks like the interior of the doors was green, rest white indeed..

White, no problem.
