Tamiya t-62. Algerian Army. Unknown scale

[BLACKCODE]

Hello my friends

This is my first publication. I present to you my t-62 from tamiya, a very old production from this manufacturer in an unknown scale. I finished it at the beginning of this month was inspired in my work by a brittmodeller’s member : https://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/234996574-tamiya-t-62-in-135-or-is-it-132/#top .

Honestly it wasn’t easy to put details and corrections on this model.

I’m working now on a Su-100 by Dragon in 1/35 scale. I will open a topic about my work on it  very soon

Have a nice day !

Great modelling, not being over familiar with the type or the kit I'm no expert, however that's a fine looking T62. Superb paintwork and excellent weathering. 

Particularly like the attention to detail regarding the damage, worn paintwork and corrosion. 

 

Thanks for posting

That's a depiction of a well used tank. Nice one.

Thanks for your comments!  👍. Generally algerian tanks never reach this stage of corrosion.  They're always refurbished or more upgraded as the t-55 (upgraded to AMV)  T-72 (all upgrades)  but curiously the t-62 had been refurbished but not upgraded till now although 400 tanks are still stored in the reserve of the army.  Maybe there's a plan for them to. And adding for info algerian army are equiped the t-90 SA (exclusively a format for the Algerian Army) 300 of them are mounted (not fully built)  in Algeria. Some say  People's National Army are very interested by the T-14 armata.😉

But it's not a credible info..  Until seen on the algerian training fields 🤣

 

Amin.
