I don't read cyrilic, but why is a Titan 6 (T-62) captioned as a T-55?

Hey everyone, long time not seen! I have been waiting for metal barrel and resin tracks for oplot, and it took Lucky models 2 months to send me those, so i became less eager to work on it... Now that i finally got my parts, work resumed at full capacity.
I started working on the skirts of tank, which is easy work, but here is a lot to be done. This is what i have done today...






I hope you like it.
Best regards from Serbia, Stefan

Good to see you back at it. I was hoping you had not abandoned it to the great box of half-built kits.

At last some progress

Welcome back Skirts are looking good. Which aftermarket tracks and barrel do you use?

Tracks are SP designs and barrel is RB models i think. I bought the cheapest ones (the tracks) because i used only half of the kit and most part of them will be hidden under skirts...

I have the same items for my T-80 BV, RB Model barrel is very good, but SP Design's tracks are broken and warped for me
But you are right, half of them will not be seen..

Keep up the good work..

Half a meter of snow outside, there is very few things that i can do right now, so i spent 3 hours in workshop. Here is what i was doing today.
Yesterday i noticed that these details on the first picture need to go off, and on their spot should come blow up panels. I discover more work every day... Those details came off very easily, then i started building base for panels. On top of with i put parts of metals sprue so that panels can be a fraction of milimeter lifted of the base. To add some details, i added some nails and hinges. And that was enough for today...

Here is an update. Cagkan's progress on his model made me i get back to mine.
I started building left side of the hull, starting with back mudblockers. Hope you like it! Left mudblocker is bigger than the one on the right side i know, it should be like slightly bigger.






Best regards!
