Hello everybody

Today I am doing in the Russian armor of tomorrow ... indeed if one believes the announcements of the Russian officials, the improvements made to the T-90 make them much superior to the Western machines ...
So no need to equip a gear so powerful but also so expensive ... I speak of course of T-14 Armata.

I assembled the one from Takom, it was the first when I bought it. Now we find Zvezda (very cheap), Trumpeter, Panda Hobby and Revell (which must be Zvezda)



It's a very nice model to climb ...
I started it at an exhibition in Marseille (France) last April.



At the end of the weekend it was almost finished ...





I bought metal tracks, those of the box being too complicated to assemble with one hand. So these Master Club crawlers are easy to assemble, a plastic shaft comes to ensure the junction between each skate.



Then it was time to take out the airbrush ... I was thinking of making a splinter camo, but I made the little player.
It will be green Russian! I used Akhan paintings.



With a little gray green, I cleared some panels.



Then it's pastel turns and other oils to come into play to achieve this ...













Hoping that you liked this montage ...

See you.

Nice good on the build.
So is this 122 MM ?

Hi;

There are A few T-14s on the market; Takom IMHO being the best of the lot !... Now some will say otherwise; But its just A Matter of which kit you like. Some will say Trumpeter which I have in my stash, but I am Not A fan of there Track's or there PE.
The Gun is A 125mm, which is standard for there MBTs !
And you have done Stellar work on your T-14 Gael and one for the Display Case.

CHEERS; MIKE.

Hi,
it is a very nice-looking model.
I see that the bar armor looks reasonably thin. Are them out of the box? I have the kit of Trumpeter, whose bar armour is considerably too thick.

Way cool

Great work Gael!

Love the painting and weathering.
Kudos for making such a great model with only one hand.

Cheers
Walter
