here are the completed pics of my T-34/85 with Aber Pe JR barrel MK tracks and Moskit exhausts(which aren't installed yet) Many thanks to everyone who has commented on this and helped support me during the building process.












i finaly found a good way to take good semi-clear pics.. so maybe my camera isn't too bad after all!

Hey there Lord AASG -

You have that T-34 whipped into shape - it looks really good! The added detail the etch gives is pretty remarkable - along with those nice MK tracks :-)

I don't know anything about russian armor - so take this for what its worth..... How do the spare tracks stay on the hull front? Maybe you could make little "L" shaped brackets from the Aber leftover fret. Just cut four pieces to the same length (make sure you use parts from the fret that are the same width). Put two below the track and two above - then run some thin wire between the parts that stick up - over the top of the track.

Just a suggestion :-)

Very sweet looking tank ya got there - you're turning into a regular Russian builder.. hehe Maybe we should start calling you "Comrade"... hehe

Ohh - I forgot to add.. Very good job with the pictures :-) You took them with no flash didn't you.... that's how I do it....

Lord Jeff,
If you could see the model in the flesh.. you would notice that the spares are held on with with bolts through the track link w/out the guide tooth you can look i nthe directions on another set of your MK's.. it shows them lol. Thanks for you comments.. i don't want to paint her though...

hehe, I'm a moron....

Thanks for the explanation..... hehe

Tell me about not wanting to paint her....... look no further than my IV...... All that brass is very pretty :-)

Details, details, and more details. The numbver of great Russian Tanks being produced here ais great. And this one is right up there withthe best. Bravo.

Thanks for sharing pics---looks like once you get the grabs and a couple of other small hull/turret items on --she's good to go.

All of us chat dudes are pulling for you on this one. Good luck with the preshading, and misting on that Russian Armor Green---keep it up---and keep us posted.

Hi Panzer Comander.. Looks Great.. Etch and Tracks.. couple things.. looks like you forgot the Visor on the right hand side of the turret (goes where the oval is).. Also the Grab Handles on the left hand side of the hull (where the circles are).. But other than that.. awsome job!! Can't wait to see it painted!

tuna i put those on after i wash.. normally if i have them on during the wash i pull them off on accident

Nice work ! Cant wait to see paint on it. Send us more pics when you do.

Cheers !!

Lordette Johnny,

Very nice looking. How long exactly you had done this construction, because it seems to be in a very short amount of time. I salute you for pulling off a nice job in such short time.

Great work.

Great job. LOVE the P/e. When is the paint going on?

:-)

nice job how are them model kasten tracks.
do they go toegther nice and would use them agian

looks great john! But one little thing, the tracks on the front end are in a almost 135 degree angle, they shoul dgo staright onto the wheels, and not to the ground, but aside from that. GREAT TANK!

Tazz the MK tracks were alright.. i def, prefer friuls over MK

Aw.. the tracks aren't connect yet.. i slid them on so you could see what they lookd like..but when linked they'll be fine

hi to pick up on a few pointers to improve your model , there are far too many track links fitted , as others pointed out , at an est i would remove at least 3 to 4 per side , the mantel on the turret is a very rough cast effect and needs doing , liquid poly and an oldtoothbrush , pratice on srap first . the towing hooks on front glassis plate need the edges welding to plate , they look like add on parts glued on , the edges to all the armour plate should be torched effect , welding on armour plate needs doing all with a pyrograve tool , hope this helps and is aimed at being neg in comments but constructive , cheers ian

Agree on the links A ltitle to loose.
But at least thay are on right #:-) {ME}

I am impressed with the build!
Nice job great use of PE #:-) #:-)
Can't wait to see final paint job (++) (:-)

This is a nice build with good detail
