Well it has been 2 yrs since I have built a model. Here it is dragon's T34/86 right out of the box. Painted with testors, finished with mig powders.

Robert,

That's some damn fine work, sir. Well done, and congratulations on completing a build after two years.

First in two years? That looks better than most of mine after a straight three year stretch. The weathering looks spot on. A plausible 4BO, as well.

Nice work,the layof didn't take anything off your fastball !!

If you want suggestions,the only thing I would say is tone down the white numbers,and rust up the screens some as they probably were field added and not painted,but really that is just an opinion,it looks great
