Next build. I am going to take the Hobby Boss 1/35 TAS-44M prototype and then turn it in to a production version (based on cold war Soviet tank thinking) which is being used in the Hugarian uprising... so things I am going to do
1) level the wheels *the rear wheels are lower than the front and the mud-guard (what ever it is called over the wheels) slope which I dont like
2) move the drive wheels to the rear
3) change the rear deck engine louvres (they are big chasms in the prototype, going to look at mesh and smaller grids)
4) rebuild the turret (prototype = Panther-esque) to make it curved and "cast"
5) replace the barrel with the t-55 barrel
6) maybe alter the slopes of the glacis and the rear deck (it covers the mud-guard (what ever it is called over the wheels)) - if i do this I will add "boxes" a la T-55
6) mesh armour (either Schuerzen like "proper" or ad-hoc welded spaced from the hull)
so in short,
cold war, soviet design inspired TAS-44M from 1956 Hungarian uprising
going to look to re-start my scratch building/modding skills so things above are subject to change....
photos will be forth-coming
