Ok, google is a friend after all 😀 found something http://www.agvmodels.es/en/post-ww-ii/69-egyptian-t-34t.html

Only found that, would be the version I´m looking for https://www.scalemates.com/kits/941787-professional-model-pm-5010-t-34-arv-armored-recovery-vehicle But I never heard of this Czech company "Professional Model" before and also never seen it being sold in hobby/web shops.

Thanks a lot!

CA glue (at the moment using Roket by Deluxe Materials) applied with a toothpic, the elastic thread connects fast and good with the glue but you need to be carefull, the EZ Line already reacts to the glue fumes. thank you both!

years of experience with 190 models 😉 and technical drawings to get the angles right yes, used a silver pencil thanks for the comments, appreciated!

Thanks! That thought came to my mind too..

Thanks! I guess this was unintended, I think it happened when he removed the masks. But gives the model a nice touch 🙂

#31/2018 And a second finished model for today. Used a Hasegawa A-9 kit, besides kit markings the aircraft number and the Werknummer came from Kagero Topcolors 13 "Operation Bodenplatte". Gunze RLM paints, Ultracast resin seat, EZ Line for the antenna, spinner spirale is painted. The model shows the aircraft of Unteroffizier Alfred Fritzsche, 4./JG1. He was downed on Jan 1st 1945 during Op Bodenplatte near Ghent. After a belly landing he crashed into a house, was severly wounded and became a POW.

#30/2018 Here´s my dad´s newest completion. Dragon kit with AIMS decals, sadly they don´t include the correct (without black outline) Balkenkreuz for the fuselage and upper wings, took them from an Owl Decals sheet. Gunze RLM70/71 for the splinter camo, MRP RLM76 (in my dad´s opinion too dark and blue-ish) as RLM65 on the underside and a brightened version of MRP RLM76 for the field applied camo on the upperside. Added brake lines with plastic rods and lead wire, antenna with EZ Line. My dad used bluetac/Uhu patafix for masking the field camo. The edges got too sharp so he oversprayed them freehand but you can still see the sharp edges look through and it caused some spatter. When you don´t really go close up you won´t see it, so, in the vitrine the model looks still good. To oppose the multi-engined allied submarine hunters over the Bay of Biscay between the northcoast of Spain and France, KG40 built up a Gruppe equipped with different types of Ju88C Destroyers. Most aircraft received a field applied additional camo and each looked different. The model shows the aircraft of Oberleutnant Kurt Necesany, 14./KG40, 1942-43 Bordeaux/France. He was KIA on 14th Feb 1944 at the age of 23. While attacking a USN PB4Y-1 his aircraft was damaged by defensive fire. Necesany and his crew didn´t make it back. Despite search attempts, no trace was found of them.

Besides starting an Austrian Tunnan soon (no free building space yet), my dad starts now also an Austrian Bird Dog using the new Roden kit with Brent-Air-Decals. 22 A models and 7 E models were in service with the Austrian Airforce from 1958 to 1997.

After finishing the Ju88, my dad starts the next 2-mot, Zvezda´s nice Pe-2 kit. DSC_0002 by Reinhard Spreitzhofer, auf Flickr

That was unintended 🙂 my dad didn´t realize that this was a civil registration and I didn´t pay enough attention. But why not for once build a warbird 🙂 Thanks all for the comments! It´s a nice little kit, very good fit, quality is ok too.

basic work done, did some overspray with a selfmixed acrylic paint that looks almost like the Revell base colour now on to details and weathering DSC_0004 by Reinhard Spreitzhofer, auf Flickr DSC_0005 by Reinhard Spreitzhofer, auf Flickr

sliding canopy attached, started with the antenna using EZ Line DSC_0006 by Reinhard Spreitzhofer, auf Flickr

Yes, it's a typical short run kit. Nothing really fits good, a lot if sanding and filling, but for sure a unique subject🙂 Hopefully my dad added enough nose weight... Btw, some modellers pointed out, that the air intake nose part has a molding issue. Looked through the existing pics and saw that the kit's one is correct. Seems the engineers tested a symmetric intake and also this asymmetric piece which the kit has.

some camo touch ups also when you look close, on the right boom you can see that the boom-fuselage joint got loose again, my dad had to repair that DSC_0008 by Reinhard Spreitzhofer, auf Flickr

wheels and wing guns attached DSC_0004 by Reinhard Spreitzhofer, auf Flickr position light painting, white base followed then by a clear paint DSC_0005 by Reinhard Spreitzhofer, auf Flickr prop done DSC_0006 by Reinhard Spreitzhofer, auf Flickr DSC_0007 by Reinhard Spreitzhofer, auf Flickr

defense guns and mast attached here you can also see that my dad did some freehand overpainting of the initially too sharp camo edges...some spray went sideways, but let´s say it was a windy day when the field camo was applied 😄 DSC_0001 by Reinhard Spreitzhofer, auf Flickr

fuel tanks added DSC_0002 by Reinhard Spreitzhofer, auf Flickr
