f matthews Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 (edited) In the first months of T-60 production, Soviet factories were disrupted severely by the German advance. Factory No.264 outside of Stalingrad, which would end up as the second highest producer of T-60 tanks, took a while getting up to speed and was assembling T-60s from components coming from other factories that had been packed up and sent deeper into the country as they were getting overrun. I converted a Miniart early Plant No.237 into a screened (uparmoured) early Factory 264 T-60. The unique armour plates (rounded at the bottom) of the particular vehicle I was modeling are not included in Miniart’s early 264 kit, so I added sheet brass armour plates to the turret and converted the hull to a welded one, as was produced at Factory 264. The Miniart T-60 kits are really well done, very detailed and a pleasure to build. This is my fourth build of the seven gun tanks, so perhaps I’m in need of some counseling...

vytautas Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 Excellent detail, excellent painting and weather conditions. And the scale of the painting effects is very accurately reproduced. Looks like a real one! 👍 Vytautas 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fpmeyer Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 Splendid result with the painting and the realistic finish of the interior. I also liked the brief historical text. Interesting information helped to brighten the presentation of the model. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PlaStix Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 I've got a version of this kit somewhere in the stash. Yours turned out beautifully. I will bookmark this thread for when I have a go at mine. Thank you for sharing. Kind regards, Stix 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
