You're too modest - I think you did a fine job on this tank. I especially like the covered machine gun. How hard was it to convert your kit from a T-72, if that's what you did? Is there a conversion set available for this purpose?
I found a Bosnian M-84 not long ago, which I thought would make a great subject if I decided to do the conversion.

it was hard for me as it was my first such project where i scratched a lot of stuff
i did not use any after market update/conversion sets
hardest thing to create was air filter between gas reservoirs on right side with it's funky looking metalwork

Pretty Bunny on those 2 pictures was for what i know only M84 that Army of BiH had and it happened to be very rare early type with side foldin meteo-sensor above cannon (removed on Zeko) while later versions had telescopic sensor

Richard, nice looking M-84. The camo net and foliage really accent the model. Nicely done sir!


Best wishes,

Ian
