ola

I was on vacation and did some work on some of my projects

previous steps on this one can be found HERE

whats left to do is finish cleaning track links, assemble, paint and weather them, and than do an overall dusting with pastels.

this one gave me a hard time as many of you know. But i guess now its close to be done.

sample pics





comments are most welcome!

Nice work Mirko., The weathering has resolved all bad kit;s problems and lead u into a nice tank. I d aonly consioder repainting the wooden box to add some texture with some dry brushing

Well you definately seem to have won your battle with this vehicle.
Your Green is very good and I like the shading and higlighting of different parts of the upperstructure as well as the roadwheels. The Engine Grill is a great touch and overal I can`t wait to see it on the dio. One thing I noted when looking at the pics there seems to be a seamline on the tube that comes out of the hole under the egine grill. Besides that a good result on this bad kit.

Mirko, Nice build. I did a Maquette kit a few years back of the Egyptian T122. A monster of a kit. One thing I noticed on yours, in the last picture bottom center of the pic, there is something coming from the deck screen, a light maybe? There is a small seam line that you can still see. Easy clean up. Thought you would want to know. Once again, nice build. "Q"

no i didint, its the kit boxed mesh, looks like a piece of anti mosqitoe mesh for windows.

i had trouble fixing it since superglue wouldnt hold so i used a kind of a rubber glue.

Mirko,

You continued buiding and you didn't let the bad kit take away this nice results. I probably would have thrown it out of the window already but your efforts on this kits and the results you achieved will make me think twice about these sort of situations in the future.

Way to go my friend! I hope to find some time soon to continue on my T-34/76 as well....(btw I can't get those tracks here.....maybe I'll buy some fruils instead, just to try that for a change, maybe I'll like it)

Martin
