hey guys, just got through with this one, for a straight forward quicky its a nice kit with just a bit of trouble with the lower hull but nothing too bad, i went for a plain green muddied finish (probably went too far but what the hey it was fun) thanks for looking and all comments are welcome.

She's abeauty Ron, looks like a vetren.I think the mud is just right Russia never had many paved roads in those days so you are going to get lots of mud.Nice model

Another great effort Ron! This one for next months MOM? :-)

Vinnie

Nice one Ron
I like a bit of mud on a Russian tank :-) :-)
I love the way you've rusted the zorst pipes,spot on
Like Vinnie says,DMOM ? get it in!!
Andy

Yep, I gotta say I really like the finish on this one. The muck looks dead on and the small gleam of burnished metal from the tracks under the mud looks just right.

I also like how the bearing surface of the tires is almost bare of mud as it should be.

Well done.

Paul

thanks John,,Vinnie,Andy,Paul i appreciated your comments, lol Vinnie i have 2 more on the bench that should be close to ready by the time next month comes around :-) im gonna have to draw straws to see which one goes in, ive already entered this months Andy, methinks maybe i have too much spare time on my hands heh.

Super job Ron, the work that you have lavished on the kit shows. I really like the look if these Russian small tanks, each time I see one completed on the site. Guess that means I must look into buying one.

John

Hi Ron,

You've done a really grand job on this one, looks the part to me. Excellent overall finish.

Who makes the kit and what size is it?

Thanks for sharing.

Cheers

Al

Ron,

Fantastic ,

I think the mud is about perfect what colour did you use for your Russian Green? It gooks great.

Jerry

thanks guys,
Alan this is the eastern express BT-7 kit 1/35 they are not the easiest kits around but they are very buildable, i liked this particulat tank because of the front fenders they just looked cool so i had to build one.

hi Jerry, the green began as mm acrylic "dark green" but its changed quite a bit since the weathering i.e. a couple of filters and lots of different washes.
