Hi,

These photos show one of my latest projects: Polish version of T-55AM2 tank which was called MERIDA. I'm building it using Tamiya's T-55A kit and AEF Designs conversion. KMT mine roller comes from Academy.
Photos were taken during applying pastels.



Soon I will finish construction of wheels for mine roller- than I will add tank crew.
What should I do to build my model more realistic? Thanks for comments.

Hi Michal,
it looks good to me maybe a bit too shiny though. I should be toned down when you'll have applied pastels.

Strange way of cutting the front fenders. Is it typically Polish ?

Pastels were applied ony on hull. I will wok on turret today.




Merida's fenders were cut in engineering versions. This was the only way to allow mine plough working properly.

I think it looks terrific. Slightly shiny yes but a great paint job. Nice mud on the rear fenders too. Well done mate.

Your T-55 build looks great so far. Thats a very interesting version you have chosen also. I like it very much.
