Hi, For anybody who is building, getting ready to build, or just thinking about buying this kit, check out the new posting on Missing Lynx for Steve Zaloga's T-34 model 1940. Very, very nice indeed.

Take care, Sgirty

sgtreef,
dont worry about the grill's what I done with my tamiya T-34 was to cut out and sand
the moulded mesh area and replace it with with some Pe mesh screen by AA
trimmed to fit the gaps it looks quite good as being a little ham fisted paid off as it
gave it some little dents making it look more realisitc very easy to do will even work
with normal mesh you get with kits just remember to add 2 plasticard slats in the
gap underneath for cooling lourves for the engine BTW maquette does a T-34
engine in plastic very cheap

Thanks Mikeli125.

I do have some screen in different sizes,so I will try your idea and pocket the Savings!!
you know how many T/34 models their are out their somebody should just do the screens seperate for $5.00 instead of the $24.00 and up for the whole pe set!
As I am the soap box I had to get the Whole Pe set for Panther G just to get the screens will not use a lot of it interior stuff and Eduard's Tool clamps are not as good as Abers!!
Off the Box now Hubba Hubba

Youre in luck. I'm currently working on a KV-1 tank by eastern express. I've also seen the kv-2's and many other KV models. Maybe I'll post some pictures when I'm done.
