Dear medeplakkers
I have just finished my T-62 build. I have totally failed on the building of this kit so I you have a good view you can notice some of my errors. Nevertheless I tried to made the best of it during the painting. I hope you like the pics.
Thanks for watching. Comments are always very welcome.
Happy modelling

Not an expert at all in Russian stuff, but what I can see is a very clean build and a very good finish. Congrats!!!

Jurjen, I dunno, I think your tank looks darn good on my monitor, sir...I really like what you've done with this T-62...although I too am not an expert on red armour, I think you did a bang up job! Love the paint and weathering...

Could you please point out where you 'failed' on this model? I can't seem to locate any obvious errors with your build here. Actually, I think that it is one heck of a beauty!

It looks good from where I'm sitting as well - I particularly like the finish on the turret - it looks like a casting. Really nice---Jim

Why don't you tell us what you did wrong, because from where I'm sitting it looks darn good.

Niks mis mee!!
I see, you got something wrong with the interior, right?
Unless it's the color, but that is always difficult to judge on a computer.
A job very well done Jurjen..

the paintjob is awesome! it looks like a moving bucket of rust. the wear on the metal is awesome.
what I love about modelling is that anywhere else, that would be a negative comment :-)

well Mr ,even with the mistake pointing out i still think that this one is a nice clean neat and nicely weathered build. So care now to put it in a small nice base to make a cool small dio with it . Looks super from my point of view

Good job.

Jurjen..
Agree with the others. You're over critical of an quality piece of modeling. Wish my failures were of the same quality. It also is too good to be just "stand alone", so please do it justice and add a base and maybe a "dio" to compliment a outstanding job. Thanks for sharing it,

Thats very well done.Bent handrails happen when a tree trunk or building debris strike them hard.
But,I bet you didnt fill the motorization holes under neath.

What a terrible job, horrible build, glaring mistakes, oh wait, that's my model I am talking about.
Seriously Jurgen, I think you have done a great job, if it was perfect what would you strive for. Keep up the great work and thanks for pointing out the mistakes because I would have never seen them.
Best Regards,
Robert
