Hi friends,

I agree !!
I finished mine this afternoon !

Didn't work on the interior, but it's a great kit with superb detailing.

Looking forwatd to see yours !!!

Note that the interior is missing most of the internal ammo stowage. Message me for further info.

Thank's Andy
Countinue with interior:

Shaping up VERY nicely!

I agree. It's looking very nice !!

Nice build....got me interested....

Great build, got me tempted to start mine

Though it's still a mystery to me why Trumpeter hasn't included the same level of interior detail in the upper hull of the -70 or -80 kits.

Thanks fellas, I'm glad you like it
Countinue with the hull and exterior:

Cheers mate

Hi fellas, counrinue with movie "50 shades of green"













Cheers

It's an interesting green... very... well: green!

I like your subtle weathering starting on the lower hull, looking forward to the procedure.

This is the end of the project:








Cheers

Chavdar, that's really a great job! For an out of the box kit it seems to have tons of detail. Fine job
Terry

Thanks guys, for the kind words
I'm happy you like my '60
It will be a gift for my father's Birthday, he was an driver of one of those, when he was a part of Bulgarian army 40 years ago

Cheers

Really nice build, very well done with attention to detail. I have to say there are some things, I should point out.
I am nearly sure that hatches (I mean those of driver and commander) should be fixed/locked vertically when open, there are small 90 degree "metal lips" parts of hinges and "rubber bumpers" on the roof armour...
Second thing, which makes me a bit puzzled, is position of commanders searchlight. That should be directly on his central periscope, which is movable and this searchlight moves paralelly.
I believe it should not be too painful to make corrections.
Are you going to add some marking, at least national recognition signs?

Hi Zdenek, you are right for all of the points
the hatches must be verticaly and the surchlight must be above the periscope . I made it that way, because my father's '60 had those "modifications" I do not know why, but on the white-black photo is that way
And about the national signs - before 40 years there were not even registration plates . . . one of kind

Cheers fella

Thanks for the pics Chavdar
