Hi all
This is the Tamiya T-55, with a drop-in engine set from CMK, Barrel from Armorscale, tracks from ModelKasten + PE from Aber/Eduard. The trash bag is scratch built from foil and there's small thingys from the spare box.
The full build article is to be found in the December issue of SMMI.
Please do comment
Jacob

Wow! That looks entirely believable! I'm not one for building wrecks, but you've really impressed me with your t-55!

This is a lovely model of a bashed up T55.

Hey Jacob!
You did great with this tank!
I like the rust effect you created, in the front particularely.
What did you use? real rust?

Ciao

Edoardo: Thank you. I painted the tank in various rust colors, and then used the hair spray method. I touched it up with enemals and pastels. Hope this answer your question.

That looks like real distressed metal. Very impressive!
