Mac the Modelling Knife Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 Here is 'Balthasar' An M36 that was supplied to the JNA (Yugoslav National Army) after WW2. Apparently all they had ever received since then was a change of radio and a coat of paint. Many were taken out of the barracks and used by the various militia during the Homeland War in the 90's. The markings are from the Bison sheet. The paint is Lifecolour 4BO. All added detail was made from Plasticard and wire. Can you work out what the donor kit was? The model was made from the 1/72 Armourfast clip together range as seen here. I hope you like it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dads203 Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 Shot one of these babies up at Travnik ranges with a GPMG back in 1997, it was next to a T34/85. You really have got the colour spot on, nice work :-) The only picture i could find of that really fun day brassin up old kit :-) Regards Dan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derbyeomanry Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 Good stuff - have some pics of one that used to be at Duxford which came from Europe. I seem to recall at one time it was covered in old rubber conveyor belting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
