Mikromir 1/48 T-70M light tank

[StuartH]

Hi everyone,

This is my completed Mikromir 1/48 T-70M (one of the few AFV vehicles that this manufacturer produces). I also added the Hauler PE set.

The kit went together well and although the instructions were frustrating at times it did make for an enjoyable and satisfying build.

My first attempt at a winter wash...it was intended to be an early winter finish though the weathering process has shifted things to mid/late winter!

The slogan on the turret refers to the 'Avtozavodsky Schoolchild' tank column. Further details on the build can be found in the WIP section.

 

Thanks for looking 

Stuart

Hi Stuart, great work. I like the contrast between the whitewash and the dirt/mud. Those exhaust pipes look amazing. And then the coin. 👍. Great model.

Cheers,

Ernst.

Brilliant, Stuart !! 
You must use a magnifier

Thanks Ernst for the kind words. Much appreciated. The exhaust pipe padding was done with tissue paper + VMS paper shaper then a strand of copper wire wound around it.

Great work Stuart, especially in one so small.

That looks great Stuart.  I agree with what everyone else has already said. 

 

Lots of detail on such a small subject - the whitewash and mud looks very convincing too. 

 

Regards,

Greg

Thanks guys for your comments. They are very much appreciated. Yes, I don't think I'll be buying the 1/72 version!

(And John, annealing the tow cable is life-changing!)

It’s surprising how small it is. What a great job you’ve done, looks really good.
