Sgt.Squarehead Posted July 25, 2018 Author Share Posted July 25, 2018 @alexclark Been meaning to ask.....The Modelcollect T-72A turrets are clearly a bit flat, where would you go about adding to them to increase their height? Have you done this at all and if so, do you have any pictures please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you done this at all and if so, do you have any pictures please? The MC T-72 kits were too late for me as I'd already built a series of T-72 variants by the time theirs came out. Mine were all converted from the Revell T-72M1 kit so I corrected that turret myself. I took a look at the MC turret a while back and it's much better in shape but I couldn't say much in detail about it. Tankograd make an excellent resin one and the Golikov Project turret is also very good. Here's mine, done about 7 years back: Here's a resin copy Imade, compared with the very poor Revell one. I was able to get a few casts done, then modified the master further to create a T-72B turret. In use on a Libyan T-72M1 I built in 2012. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt.Squarehead Posted July 26, 2018 Author Share Posted July 26, 2018 Cheers Alex.....I'll take some detailed pictures of the MC T-72A turret in due course, it seems to be a bit too well sloped at first glance. I have three to correct altogether, but two are AVs so the ERA modules will help to disguise the issues.....In addition to that trio, I also have a Georgian T-72SIM-1, which looks like it may have started out life as a T-72A or AV.

Sgt.Squarehead Posted November 4, 2018 Author Share Posted November 4, 2018 Every now and again I find images that genuinely surprise me: That's a TOS-1A on a Faun SLT-50, on their way to Mosul (Poor Mosul! ).....I've been searching high & low for a novel load for my Elefant. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badger Posted November 4, 2018 Share Posted November 4, 2018 Genius! Take it that's a contender for elefant load then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt.Squarehead Posted November 4, 2018 Author Share Posted November 4, 2018 Well, you know what my preferred option is, but it's definitely a contender if I can't find a suitable candidate. Modelling room's a bit upside-down at the moment, but it's all in a good cause.....Just need to find somewhere to put everything! PS - Is it my imagination, or have they really hung out their washing on their Buratino? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old pro Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 Nope, that's a washing line, hanging down the side😂, nice find on the picture though, something unusual on the elefant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
