Сергей Никитин Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 One fine evening I opened a box with all sorts of "garbage" from different models of T-34. And I had a somewhat crazy and interesting idea. Make a "Frankenstein's monster" out of this " garbage" lower part of the case-Maquette/MSD The top of the case - old Zvezda Front and rear armor plates, Dragon turret. Balance beam - Dragon. Support Rollers-Maquette/MSD Hub caps - old Zvezda Host and Sloth-Dragon Miniarm Hooks Trunks - Zedval Cable-made by yourself Changed all bolts, used the remnants of the PE from dragon. Box- Maquette/MSD Trucks- Maquette/MSD Identification signs and inscriptions - a homemade paint mask And here we are) The prototype is a T-34 with the inscription "Lazo" from the 145th separate tank Brigade. The car is either an early release of the STZ or a repair one. Coloring - Akan 4BO Oil-Mig and Co. Enjoy your viewing, thank you for your attention. 29 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

echen Posted May 26, 2021 Share Posted May 26, 2021 Great T34. Where would we be without T34s and the heroes that operated them? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ernst Posted May 27, 2021 Share Posted May 27, 2021 Kitbash redefined. I have to trysome of those akan paints, they look very convincing. I remeber a very civilized discussion by akan on armorama about accuracy but I digress. Highly inspiring. Great model Сергей Никитин👍, Awesome beasts, those t-34's. Cheers, Ernst. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still think that Akan paints on Soviet equipment are the most authentic. Yes, there are many discussions. And yes, the quality of the paint is so-so. But if you get used to it (Leveling tinner from Gunze helps just fine) - I personally like the colors. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
