I thought i'd post these up for everyone to see, mainly just to prove I am still getting a little bit of modelling done, despite the main project, my T-72B, being on hold while I study.
I built these as a commission for someone, the Egyptian example is Trumpeter kit, Russian is Tamiya, both have Trumpeter individual track's and metal barrels (one is the inaccurate shorter Barrel Depot version). The pics are kinda crappy as I didn't have a decent set-up and I snapped them real quick before packing them for the buyer.
Enjoy!

Nice tanks but those Trumpeter indi links you mention must be from their KV series tanks?

Always loved the JSIII. That and the T10.
They both look great and like the way you made them stand out.

Thanks guys!
Regarding this, I just used the tracks the buyer supplied me with, they were the individual link tracks which Trumpeter sells separately, said on the box for the JS-III......

They both look like great models, but the Egyptian one takes the prize for sure with the extra details as far as these pics go. Cool duo congrats!

Cheers Greg! Yer, I was pretty pleased with the Egyptian one, kinda sucked having to box it up and send it away.
