Roman Schilhart Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 An aircraft modeller's attempt on 'Heavy Metal'. After building Zvezda's Yak-3 'Snap Kit' I was so impressed by the quality and ease of build that I acquired some vehicles from their 'Snap Kit' range as well. Detail is sufficient, but not as good as with Dragon or Revell. Most suprising issue - there are no grab handles included. These are quite prominent on T-34s, so I added them from my spares box. The tow cable is from a Dragon kit. I really like Zvezda's design for the tracks, they come as one piece. You simply wrap them around the wheels. It's a good idea to dip it in hot water first. I didn't, and mine broke up, but were easy to fix with a drop of glue. I much prefer that system over the link-and-lenght tracks that I find very difficult to work with in small scale. I painted the model with Gunze/Mr.Hobby acrylics (H80). The tarpaulin is a resin item from CMK. Exhausts were drilled open. Weathered with artists oils and pastel chalks. Thanks for your interest! 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sgt.Squarehead Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 Wow.....Somehow I completely missed the release of this kit, this is the first I've ever heard of it! Looks every bit as good as their other (allegedly) QB kits and you've done a great job with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
