Hi Guys,

Here is other entry for the November MOM. The kit is a T-34/85 by Dragon (6203). The kit was built with several modifications all of which were scratchbuilt (due to lack of AM parts here in the Philippines). The following parts/items were scratchbuilt/modified:
1) Front fenders - using aluminum sheets
2) Towing cables - Picture hanging wires
3) Tie downs (all) - wires
4) Engine screen - styrene with plastic screen from SWMBO's purse :-)
5) Straps for the tracks/ice cleats(?) at the left side - wires and masking tapes
6) Tactical numbers were hand written using white Artline marker

The kit was painted using Tamiya acrylics. Pastel chalks and acrylic washes were used for weathering.

Below are some pics of the T-34/85:











More of the completed kit pics can be found here as well as during the construction stage

dont ya just love this kit, this was one of my first kits i built and still one of my favourites, yours looks great, the fenders look real the mud and dirt are spot on and i like the hand painted numbers they give it a real feel on top of the great texture of that turret, looks great.
