Hi Brian,
Dmitry's Last Visit to Forums was May 12th, 2019. You might try looking at his profile and trying the email shown on the upper right of the profile.

Dmitry,
Could you tell me what paints and colors you used for this?
Thank you,

Very nice work on the bike. The extra detailing you did on it really adds to the look. Nice work on the base, too.

I see nothing wrong with what you have done so far. I like the "not too worn, lightly dusted" look.

Bolts, nuts and rivets of the different sizes are made by the "Master Club" firm.

That's just awesome! I can't achieve cleaner results on styrene kits. Really looking forward to the paint.

Wow. The level of detail is amazing and those are some seriously good scratch building skills. I hope I can achieve such skill, as I have 1/35th plans and plenty of sheet steyrene. Working on imaginary tank from World of Tanks, SU-122-44 for some fun. Though what I want to build is a nice KV-3.

The cables do look better now. I'm amazed every time I see this build.

Excellent build. Reminds me of the old "Basic Techniques, Advanced Results" articles in Fine Scale Modeler. Hopefully this inspires more people to scratchbuild.

That is one great looking model. The level of detail is on par with a 1/35 tank

Getting down to the finish line now. This is going to look fantastic when you finish it.

It'd be nice if some one picked up the slack. You'd think with the old kits for the T28 and T35 going for $60 to $100 it'd be enough incentive to put out new kits of these and others, like this one.

WOW!
Another great job Dmitry!
I wonder if some companies would be interested to use your models as masters for serial products.

Congrats indeed and many thanks for sharing
...well in my opinion T-55 isn' t just a tank. Actually it is THE TANK...
