Hi all:
Today I took some pics of my T 34-76 from Tamiya. It was build right OOB.
Coments and critics will be appreciated.

Looks great
You know a lot of folks say this and that about Tamiya T/34's.
But overall all they build good and look the part.
Again as Rivet counters go the slope is not right plus not wide enough.
Well heck with them looks great!!!!! (++) (:-)

Very nice texture on the turret, perhaps it could have been roughened up a little, but that is just personal taste.... With the pretty rough metal used in the casting of the T34, perhaps any bare metal could be darkened or even oxidised a bit. Again, personal taste.... Overall, a nice build, nice to see OOB for a change.... Jim

Looks good... they are fun kits to build ,I built one the other day for the fun...still haven't finished painting mine yet....One thing that Tamiya did was take their measurements on the two T34s at Aberdeen but those are the only T34s in the world that have those tow hooks in the front ...these were used to help move the tanks around the base. Nothing a good pair of cutters and a file can't fix...

I like it. The texture on the turret seems good to me, as does the slight dirt or rust on the tracks. My only suggestion might be to put some rope or staps to hold those boxs in place on the sides.

Thanks tazz. The art box is the T 34 in a ruined factory with two rusian soldiers and a machine gun.

nice one !
I like the weathering, and the "dust".
Still, you could add more dust in / on the roadwheels, they look too clean.

Looking at my pics I just noticed that there is a very noticeble overlap in the union of the left track between the forst and second road wheel. I´ll try to fix it or disimulate it.

Nice work on your T-34 ! Not bad at all for OOB ! Weathering looks great, just enough. Paint job and markings look great too !
Cheers !
