Next build. Mirror Model T-20 (small Russian infantry carrier/artillery tractor). It will be modified - photos of a German armoured one (looks like a tracked Quad tractor) or perhaps a WHIF Katyusha or Stuka am Fuss armoed (or even more obtuse a support gun with a short barreled StuG gun mounted (dont think it is quite big enough BUT they did mount a large AT gun on it at some point 😃

Tankers (if we can call them like that) must be really brave lads to go inside it and go into the combat. .

2 in the front - driver and gunner - and exposed seating over the engine.... scary stuff

I agree with Hamden, very interesting little AFV.....and yes as Kris said, not something I'd have wanted to dropped into......has the look of a more up-armoured Universal Carrier with the open backed seating. I'll look forward to following it along your build Rob.

pictures another day - white interior painted, engine painting started....

Initial interior painting (all pieces just placed). I don't think much of this will be visible (upper hatches over the driving compartment are fairly big tho so you never know). Going to do some basic weathering over engine & front anyway just to get my eye back in to modelling:

Looking good... it was mostly used as an artillery tractor, And I don't think they used these in hot areas (except the ones with the Zis gun on top), but more to prepare defences... nevertheless, I wouldn't feel comfortable into or seated upon this thing.

 

Nice work with this one, Mirror models has nice subjects, but isn't the easiest to deal with...

its tiny - i am going to take some comparison shots when it is done....

 

and yes, this is the 2nd Mirror Model I have built (well started) - also have the Holmes Wrecker stalled due to lack of inspiration to finish. I think this one will get harder as we go long - indi-link tracks look small for example!!!

Bank Holiday Monday modelling... messed up a little on the engine cover - fit isn't great - but think huge Stuka am Fuss brackets & rockets will hide a multitude of sins. The 4 bogie constructions have 15 pieces each but go together quite easily:

Rob, i'm still perplexed why you wont allow people to zoom in on your images??

 

you should be able to now... and mostly because my modelling skills dont really stand up to close scrutiny 😉

Hi Rob....I think this is a T-20.......could be a good look for it when finished....

Yes it is. Thanks. Like the cross on the hatch inner surface... Am still tempted to lad her with 2-4 stuks zu fuss rockets tho

Yeah, maybe........not sure what the back of T-20 is like until you build more of yours......either way, a good look for this little AFV.
