I’m thinking of maybe doing my first diorama, any pictures of knocked out Iraqi armor would be greatly appreciated – maybe a T-55 or T-72?

Thanks,
Noah

Chris,

Thanks for the picture of your model. That’s truly great work! I hope my project come out half as good.

By the way, where did you get the ammo band for the machine gun? It looks very realistic.

Hi there, My name is Scott, but everybody calls me Jock. I've got a 1/35 T64 with 7th Armoured Brigade Colours and ensignia on it. I served in Gulf War 1 and our forces captured quite a few T64s, so I got this model and did it in 7th Armoured ensignia.
Cheers
Jock

Uh, Jock, are you sure you don't mean T69, the Chinese version of the T55? Many of what are called T55s in Iraq are really Chinese-built and Iraqi-modified T69s or T59s.

The T64 was never exported from the Soviet Union.

those ammo belt`s are from verlinden production...the only downside is the bullets are flat........( yeah we all do make misstakes)
