Hewy Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 Theres no chance of that t-55 creeping up on the enemy is there, you'd hear its racket and see the exhaust smoke from a  few km away🤫 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PlaStix Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 Hi V-P. I know you are a busy modeller but I was wondering if you have made a start on this yet? Kind regards, Stix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vppelt68 Posted October 29, 2019 Author Share Posted October 29, 2019 Stix, not yet! I hate multitasking and prefer to build one at a time - though my current ones are a trio of Kittyhawks, I count it as one build. T-55 will be the next one on the workbench 🙂  1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PlaStix Posted November 7, 2019 Share Posted November 7, 2019 Hi V-P. That looks to be a nice kit. I might have to get one of those. Kind regards, Stix 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vppelt68 Posted November 8, 2019 Author Share Posted November 8, 2019 Telford, right, that sounds like an event one should attend at least once in a lifetime... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a good show v-p you woud enjoy it no doubt, take a lot of money though, we adults tend to regress into something like children going into a sweetshop 🤗 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vppelt68 Posted November 8, 2019 Author Share Posted November 8, 2019 One step at a time... I visited the IWM proper and the RAF museum in Hendon last year, the RIAT and IWM Duxford are on our tour schedule next summer. Telford... Maybe some year? 🙂  1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Groups of grown (mostly) men running around looking for the newest kits and best bargains is truly a sight to behold! 14 minutes ago, vppelt68 said: One step at a time...

You would be more than welcome to spend some time at my clubs tables and we always look after our international visitors really well. And yes alcohol is involved  . 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PlaStix Posted November 22, 2019 Share Posted November 22, 2019 Hi V-P. Just checking if it has arrived yet and if you have had chance to get your T55 started yet? Kind regards, Stix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vppelt68 Posted December 10, 2019 Author Share Posted December 10, 2019 I'm shocking @PlaStix by posting the first build pic of my T-55 . Actually this is almost as far as I can go without any reference books, as I have no idea which type of hatches, engine deck etc. I should use. I shall use this book  as my reference but I don't have it in my hands yet... But I can go on painting the lower hull, wheels and tracks anyway, that should keep me busy! V-P  Edit: which it does indeed. One of those days I'd really appreciate an airbrush...  2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PlaStix Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 WOW!!! I am shocked!!! great to see some progress V-P and I hope the book turns up soon!! Kind regards, Stix 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kind regards, Stix Thanks Stix, it did! Here's a dry-fit assembly pic of my little -55. I've had some productive hours in these last few days 🙂.   Next I must splash some washes and then drybrush the tracks before they can be applied. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PlaStix Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 Hi again V-P. Great the book has arrived and that you have found the time to make some good progress. Kind regards, Stix 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silenoz Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 Nice work... You won't add any additional structure on the cuppola? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The jury is still out on this one! I'm aiming for a modest max. 50% accuracy of "finlandizing" my little T-55 so maybe I will, maybe I won´t...

PlaStix Posted December 19, 2019 Share Posted December 19, 2019 Hi V-P. Any more progress? Kind regards, Stix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vppelt68 Posted December 30, 2019 Author Share Posted December 30, 2019 These tanks looked so big when I was having AT training with them... Tracks are base painted black. When the link'n'lenghts are wrapped allover and cement has cured, I'll add washes and drybrush them. At least those parts that shall remain visible, so not that much!

PlaStix Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 Great to see this is still in progress V-P-hopefully you'll manage to get it finished and in the Gallery by the 12th! Kind regards, Stix 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vppelt68 Posted January 2, 2020 Author Share Posted January 2, 2020 Aw you won't believe the state of my build when I take the next pics of it. Not yet finished though, but on its way to be Finnished . V-P 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
