Hi Guys. I just started to build a T-34 in 1:16 scale. So i am really looking forward to this as i have had this kit for a while and it was really exciting to finally get to it.

Here is my progress so far. The engine is not attached. I am not sure if i will as it might be cool to be able to take it out for display. But that will come later on. There will be more detailing on it to keep it as true to the real thing as possible. As wiring and parts if i feel is missing. Tips on that is much appreciated.

Great job so far, I have always liked the T-34 and I am not all that familar with the interior layout so will be watching with interest.

Cool ... 2 1/16 builds going on at the same time here!

You off to a fantastic start jk_conix and it's very nice looking!

I will have to make the plunge and build a T34 now. Thanks.

Hi Jarle,

Looking real good. I'm very interested in this kit for a futrue build and it will be good to see one built. Looking forward to your next update. Will you sharing details of all the improvements you make?


Matt

Thanks guys. I am really enjoying this one. There is still some details to come so it is not done in the interior. Will work out some stuf here and there i am not satisfied with. Hope you like the progress so far. Cant wait to start painting and weathering it.

Jarle.

Hi Matt. Yes i will try to point out the things that i will alter or that is not original. First of is the wiring on the engine. As there is basically no wires. I will ad some more wiring here and there as i feel some of the solutions is not well made or completely missing. But hey, thats why we build them right? This is my first 1:16 build and i liked this best compared to the others. And it cost me 75$ on ebay.

And i will try to make detailed photos of things i alter while i do it. If i alter it.

Cheers Jarle.

Hi guys. Back with yet another update This thing is by far the most enjoyable model i have ever built on. You just never want to quit. Had a 14 hour session last weekend. I could not stop myself hehe.

There will be allot more painting going on as i have just started with the detail painting.

Have made some modifications to the rear hatch that will be explained below. Hope you guys like the progress so far.












Here i have cut out the original plastic mount for the rear hatch as i found out i want to be able to open it so the transmission can be viewed without taking of the entire top.


The peace i made that is going to have small holes drilled to simulate the bolt holes from the hatch.




Here it is attached. But i am going to modify it so it looks perfect as it did not fit 100%. Next will be to drill holes and some puttywork to smoothen it out.


More to come, so stay tuned

Cheers Jarle.

Nice! I like the colors you have chosen.

Care to share what they are?

Hi Jeff. I use citadel paint. I have found them to be better than tamiya and valejo. I feel they also look much better.

Have used boltgun, mithril, chaos black etc. And mig nautral wash on the interior. And i have also used those tamiya makeupbox looking sets. For effects.

Jarle.

Hi guys. Back with another update. Have started the painting of the exterior. This is just the main color so no weathering or effects is added. Some more painting will be done.

Some details will be added as i wanted the main color to be done first. And some modification will be done.

Hi guys. It has been a loooong while. 1/1 house building project has taken allot of my time + i have gotten a real interest in largescale rc cars. For those of you interested in those things my blog is also something to look at as i have a losi 5ive and a hpi baja 5t. http://plasticmodeling.blogspot.no/

But here is a little update on the T34. Will try to post as soon as possible Felt good to be back on plastic modeling not just the rc for hobbies. Not done to much yet. But more is to come. Stay tuned.

Looks really nice and real too.

fantastic job. I did the AFV 1/35 kit with interior; it was fun, and it shows how great this vehicle was engineered.

@Jarle- Outstanding! I'll be chking for this one, Thanks for posting!

Cheers Dave

Looks fantastic. Now i gotta get me one.

Thanks guys. Have really missed tinkering with plastic models. My nazi what if bunker is still dorment though. Hopefully ill bring life back to that one to soon. But it might be that i will go in a total different direction on the bunker. Ideas keep coming, and things to do better than already done. Might just finish it and do another better one.

Another update on it. There is still lots of detailing left. But it is getting there Hope it looks good. Or is getting there
