Hi all,
I've applied the first camo coat. No weathering at this stage except a basic one for the running gear prior to install the side skirts.







Fine and original subject to me, I hope you'll like it.

BTW does any of you experience trouble with the copy and paste option of the gallery ?

Oh.. I see it! I see it! Great camo paintjob! Very nicely done.. Those "squares" on the tank.. very interesting.

Hi Gino,
here they are now.
I fear the copy and paste does work properly. I had to copy the file properties manually

Looks good! Nice to see modern polish subject. Did you made any changes to Modelkrak conversion? I still hope somebody will make error free kit of this vehicle. I heard that Modelkrak is OOP so maybe we'll see improved version

Hi Piotr,
I did some mods to the turret mainly. First I sanded all the ERA tiles on the roof as they didn't match the pics I had. Then I made new ones with plastic card.

I added the missing tiles on the glacis too.

I moved the left side laser detector backward so as the schnorchel overlaps it.

Check out my gallery to see pics of the in progress model.

Looks great. What scale is this kit? For some reason I was under impression that it was a 1/72 conversion. The only thing that you could change are the rubber skirts in the front - make them more curved, but that's just my opinion.

Hi Pavel,
this is 1:35 scale. The conversion is made by Modelkrak of Poland. The donor kit is the Tamiya T-72.

As far as the front skirts are concerned, they are resin ones so hard to give them bent shape. BTW the pics I have show rather stiffer skirts than the side ones.
