Here are a couple of pics of my latest project, a T-34 Model 1943, Trumpeter 1/16. Any comments welcome to make this a good build!

Looking good so far ...I'm trying not to buy one of these kits ...It is hard but I'm resisting ..so far! Nice little extras you've added ..did you make the seats with Miliput? they look great ..Keep up the good work and keep us up to date on your progress...

Nice one Hasse. The wiring and cables add so much to this kit. Are all these added or are some of them molded to the sides?
Like Richard, Ive been holding off from buying this, until I get some realistic time to build it ... still got the leopold stting and waiting. But images like this is making it harder. I saw one at the Hobbymässan recently and appears excellent. Someday, someday!

Welcome to the site and hopefully we´ll be seeing more of your progress soon!

Looking good, i can see that you have updated the kit to the right ´42 look - nice work.

Those 1:16 kits really are addictive

Thanks for your input!
The seats were made with Magic Sculpt.
Mike Blank, well-known figure modeller, led me into using this instead of Milliput, and I must say I'm totally addicted to the stuff now. so much easier to work with, very satisfying!

Most of the cabling will have to be added. I kept some of the cabling on the left fron wall, but sanded off the "end parts" and added my own (copper wire in pictures) to sort of lift the cables from the wall and connect them to the valves.

I really appreciate your kind feedback, as I must admit (*blushing*) it makes me want to proceed, and do more, and better!
