GREG DESTEC Posted October 14, 2018 Author Share Posted October 14, 2018 All done! What a blast this was. I really enjoyed this wee tank. I haven't built one of these in ages and it was a good change for me. I may well revisit the airfix armour subjcets as there are plenty to choose from and they are being reissued in the classics range, one of which is this kit i think. It comes with the two turrets and i think the larger of the two - T-34/85 looks better but i took pics of both so you can see for yourselves. More pictures in the gallery shortly. Thanks to all who cheered me along or left a like for all my builds, much appreciated peeps! Extra thanks to Ian, Mike and Dave for all their hard work building and encoraging us all. Whens the next one????!! Cheers Greg 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Greg Hey Greg - you really should take a look at the range from PSC - they have a minimal parts count - but are pretty accurate and just aching for a few 'finishing touches' - just like an old Airfix kit really - but more importantly - they are FUN to build. Come to think of it... A '15 parts or fewer' GB could be fun - allowing folk to express themselves with very basic kits and show what can be achieved with a bit of research and skill. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Steve, I have seen some your PSC models on the Forum and they look excellent. I have been sorely tempted to try one. Number of parts is unimportant to me compared to how the finished kit looks. I'm off to have a gander at them online..... Cheers Greg 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JOCKNEY Posted October 14, 2018 Share Posted October 14, 2018 Brilliant job Greg I must admit when I saw the title of the build I thought it was going to be something that would cause Mike to blush ! However your T34, turned out the business, although I think having a choice of turrets is showing off just a bit, given how quick you completed it ! cheers Pat 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rabbit Leader Posted October 14, 2018 Share Posted October 14, 2018 That's just excellent stuff Greg. You've shown us all that some of these kits can still be built as quickly as when we were kids, yet finished off superbly with all those years of experience under one's belt. You set yourself a tough challenge, but made it with time to spare. Impressive stuff and a fitting way to end your great contribution. It's been a blast having you onboard. Cheers and very well modelled.. Dave 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
