What a beautiful conversion. Good stuff, David.

I just saw this. Very very cool work

I have said earlier that there are different patterns of wheel applicatble to the T-34 family, the full size MB/Revell wheels are not quite correct as they have a sharp flange to the rim whereas they should have a dished rim I have attempted to correct this by using thick paint to fill the sharp edge to more accurately represent the real wheels. They are not perfect but they are nearer than they were when moulded, this shot shows the tree of outer wheels changed in this way with a close up of one wheel.

That's a good fix.

Since the last post the wheels and tracks have been painted and fitted, the decals have been applied and the final details have been glued in place and the tank is now finished as a preserved example with the Armycars Museum at Zwijndrecht in the Netherlands.






Will take a short break now as I have an OOB build of a Typhoon to make and a PM kit to finish this weekend.

David.

You really wouldn't know you'd scratch built most of that, David. I am very impressed!

A top build sir!
