    Big thanks for all the comments! It was a symbol used both by Krajina and Bosnian Serbs, there are many photos showing tanks and vehicles bearing this symbol. In my T-34/85 case it was more of a speculative artistic addition...

    Thank you all for the comments. I tried George, but I was too gentle...šŸ˜

    Happy New Year to all Britmodeler.com friends! Second armour posting for me here and first for 2023. It is the new 1/35 Italeri T-34/85 Korean War, painted as ex-JNA example during the Bosnian war. These tanks were already overused and really weathered, so I tried to represent mine as such, with chipping, pigments, washes and rust. The wheels are from Miniart, and I used the Star-decals sheet that includes these markings. Comments and questions welcomed. Best, Dimitris

    Hi Steph, Thanks for the comments. For the tracks I followed very conventional techniques: an initial spray with NATO black, then spray diluted Rust color, then some brown weathering powder, and finally drybrushing with Gun Metal AK powder. For gluing the track links I used slow drying glue that allows time to conform the tracks on the wheels. Best, Dimitrios

    Thank you! All comments are very encouraging. I will try to return with a new model soon!

    Thank you all for your nice comments! I like the Miniart T-55s, and I may build a second one in the near future. It is not an issue of difficulty, just a matter of allocating more time for the more detailed assembly stage.

    I have been an airplane modeller for more than a decade, but the last few years I became an armour enthusiast too. That's my first post of a tank at Britmodeller.com, a model I finished a year ago. It is the 1/35 Miniart T-55A, in the colors of the Yugoslav Army as it operated in the late 1990s in Kosovo. It was the first Miniart kit I attempted to build. I was initially overwhelmed by the 800+ pieces and wondered if I manage to complete such a complex model. In the end though, it wasn't too difficult for me, I just had to spend a lot more time on cutting and gluing than on a regular kit. Moreover, to the company's credit, they quickly replaced a piece that I lost. For the painting scheme, I chose the complex four tone Serbian camouflage as shown on the kit box. Paints are from Gunze and Tamiya and the tank was weathered with various products. I also only added the antenna and ammo boxes in the place of the rear fuel tanks, as was the original in some photos I found. Hope you like it. Dimitrios

    Sorry for the belated answer, I just saw your message. I ordered my decals from LM decals company in Greece. Meanwhile they have produced a dedicated sheet for Greek Ansons. You can check here: https://lmdecals.gr/index.php/en/x-series-en/military-aircraft?start=30 Ī“Ī¹Ī¬Ī½Ī½Ī·, Davide, thanks for the messages.

    The MB151 version also! Thatā€™s great news. Always wanted to build a Greek Air Force Bloch! Or more...

    Thank you all for your comments. Thatā€™s a really old kit not very well known; it counts less that 30 pieces.
