Greetings Comrade Tank Builders! Way, way back in time a very few T34/76 tanks were supplied to China and N.Korea by the Peace Loving Peoples of the Soviet Union for training purposes. Incredibly some survived - in use in their intended role! - until the early 21st Century. Here is proof: As featured on N Korean TV which enjoys a reputation for unbiased and accurate reporting on a par with the BBC. So it must be true. You can just about make out the guide teeth telling us that it's not T-34 track anymore. I'll be doing a dig later but they were upgraded to T-55 track and drive sprocket at some stage. So starting with this: and: The rest of the T-55 kit won't be wasted as I have a plan. The wheels are from OKB Grigorov and aren't the same as the T-54/55 wheels which is as it should be. So the bench is clear while I await the detail set for my Corsair I may as well crack on.

After a terrible year of signing up (many times), starting build threads (fewer times), starting builds (even less times), and finishing builds (none at all 😪 ) I've gone back to THIS THREAD from October 2013 to get going again. This is where the model stands today I was a little optimistic about the time scale but this time it will be finished. I promise. Looks a little battered because of the Great Shelf Collapse of 2018 after which many models were put in an annex to the 3 Boxes of Doom while I got on with getting better. I'd also mounted the idler too far forward which started to really annoy me. After the fight to build and then paint this beast I'd had enough. Looking at the photos I've just taken the paintwork needs attention especially the tracks. However it will be a good start to recovering my mojo and learning to cope with a less-than-perfect right hand (trapped nerve...again ) Cover me Chaps and Chapesses I'm going in.
