Hi guys,

I´d like to present to you one of my works that has been made for a customer who served in former East German army some yeras in the 9. Tank division - 23rd tank regiment of the NVA. He was the commander of this T-72M tank.
The basic model was the Zvezda T-72A kit with lot of scratch builts and shape corrections of the turret itself. A lot of details were improved and added. The customer was more than satisfied, because I´ve made it to match his face up to 80%.
But here´s the complete story with the final result.

The building process with improvements:








The final result:

Nice build- I'm sure the customer will be happy! What did you make the camouflage netting out of?

Very nice one indeed! I like the paintjob on the figure... it shows me the long way ahead of myself in terms of figure painting...

And it's particularly nice to see some more NVA-builds around here

Hi Karl,

sorry for replying so late about the camouflage netting. I´ve used bandage from an old first-aid kit, coloured it with some gray-green and finally fixed some parsley and oregano.
