Nenad,
That's a good looking T-72, it's always nice to see a dog of a kit become something nice. Keep it up.

Nenade, moram da kažem da je fantastično!
Looking forward to seeing it when its complete.

Those new parts look excellent- this is one cool build.

Hi guys,

I thank you a lot for you kind comments and interest in my project.




Hi Andreas,

to match the correct JNA color called "SMB - sivo maslinasta" (greyish olive) you have to mix two colors. Therefore I only use Revell Aqua Color #362 and #45 and mix it 2:1. When you take a look at my other works you can see that this is the right one:

Hi Nenad,

thank you very much for the info!

All the best,

Hi guys,

first of all I want to thank you for your patience during the building time and comments you have left. Only one week is left and I will quit with casting resin turrets for sale, because I spend too much time on it and less on family and hobby.

Here are some new pictures of this project, where neccessary improvements have been made, because Tamiya/MHM/Trumpeter failed to check it and add them correctly to the main kit.

Hello again.

It has been some time ago that I posted new pictures of my progress. Well here they are. Everything you can see is my own work. No PE-detail sets were used, except the rear light cover, that was reshaped from Eduard´s oversized etch part.

All the small details were made from the rest and framework of RB-Models 125mm gun etching part plate. For example the towing hook fixing points, the inner lense of the rangefinder unit. The towing cable was made from thin copper wire and will be painted seperately. Straps to attach the tree trunk were made ​​of thin yogurt plastic.
Enjoy the pictures...

Looking good Nenad, keep it up. Can't wait to see this one done.
-Seth

Here are the last pictures befor painting. I decided to use some Eduard parts for motor grills/mesh and Trumpeter´s single track links to recreate a better terrain configuration. The track links are not workable, I had to glue them completely. The tanker has been stolen from Tamiya´s T-72M1 in my stash.

Here are fresh pictures of an idea I´m having. I will make a diorama with my T-72M and BRDM-2UM during a maneuver of the Yugoslav army in 1983 located at Krivolaka, now Macedonia. The complete diorama base, trees and everything you can see is my own work. I built this diorama base to display an M1A1HA Abrams with mine plough in Bosnia from 1996. But I sold the tank and will use this base for the Yugoslav project. Areas with the brown-greyish mud will be covered with static grass.

The dio-base, which formerly was built for my Abrams project last year:






and now the present idea

Hi Nenad;

What can one say, that hasent been said already !!!!
FABULOUS, OUTSTANDING, AWSOME etc,etc,etc,
You have given all of us a Masters Class of Modeling
((( TRULY GREAT ))) I Have Just One Complaint
You Stoped Produceing your turret

ALL THE BEST TOO YOU & YOUR FAMILY; MIKE.

Hi Mike,

thanks a lot for your kind words.

I also have to thank my wife and my older daughter for supporting me and holding white bed sheets during all photo-shootings.

And about my turret sets. Who says that I have completely stopped with casting turret sets? I will pour them until my liquid resin stock is empty. And I think this will take some 50 to 60 turret sets.

New pictures of the turret after priming.

New pictures from my project.

I have been using car primer from WILKENS. An excellent and fine primer for only 3,80 Euro.




A Yugoslav T-72M in factory-fresh Czech-color. I took Revell Aqua Color #67 and lightened it with 5ml #45 "light olive" + 5ml "white", because the first color application using only #67 was to dark, in my opinion of course.


BRDM-2UM in factory-fresh Yugoslav SMB-color

Fresh pictures of my T-72M with very fine chipping effects :

Hi Nenad;

Welcome Back, Glad too see your Dio, is still in the works.
Bring us up too date on the T-72 project, the BRDM looks nice also.


CHEERS; MIKE.

Looking good Nenad, looking forward to seeing this one done.
-Seth

Hi guys,

thanks for watching my project. Therefore I´ll show you new pictures from the progress. The T-72M after "washing"/"weathering", where only black artist oil color was used, diluted with lighter fluid/petrol.

I have found a small mistake. The ammunition box of the DSHK-gun has a "star". This details is only suitable for USSR tanks, but not for license built Czech T-72 or Yugoslav M-84 tanks. This detail will be fixed immediately.

Hi;

Good Eye Nenad. !!! Still Looking Good
The Figure is real nice, we cant wait too see Her Done.



CHEERS; MIKE.

Great progress so far Nenad! I love the color!

All the best,
Andreas

CHEERS; MIKE.
