AndrewCJ50 Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 Good Evening Comrades I made the T-44 from Miniart a while ago but I have been playing around with Ammo oilbrushers in an experimental way on the tank. I enjoyed this because of the control you have and being oil they have a long drying time Unfortunately you can't see much of its highly detailed engine! I believe the T-44 wasn't a great success as they found it difficult to cure overheating problems. But the chassis then matured into the T-54 and the rest is history Hope you like it?

FrancisGL Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 Hi Andrew, Like me a lot, that mix between T34/85 and something more advanced (T54), is very nice. I really like the figure, and how little of the engine can be seen. Cheers and TC Francis.👍 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

f matthews Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 VERY nice! I was never a fan of postwar armour until Miniart released their first T-44 kit. Since then, I’ve researched a lot and picked up several of their T-44/54/55 kits, I just need to start one. Your’s looks really good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeeM Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 Hi Andrew Very nice. The weathering really sets it off. Good job on the base. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevehnz Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 Very nicely done. I like the look of the T44 the last in the line before they went all pudding bowl with their turrets. Maybe they were better tanks but they weren't better looking tanks, to my eye anyway. This one catches the look very well. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MRMRL Posted January 26, 2022 Share Posted January 26, 2022 This is superb, really nicely weathered tank, it looks clean but well used - a great effect overall. I love the trees and the verge at the side of the road, they are brilliant, I'd love to know how you made them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew J Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 Dear Colleagues Thanks for your kind comments I submitted the post and then got a message it had failed from the server so submitted it again! I think the server is suspicious of me, it keeps telling me about things are going wrong and do I remember the antiques road show?? I recommend you don't do a Miniart kit straight after a Tamiya one! You will get frustrated with knock out pins in annoying places and assemblies sprayed across several sprues. BUT you will love the attempt at detail fidelity. You will be annoyed that some parts snap. But once you are in the 'Miniart Zone' you will enjoy it. The interior kits are an insight into the problems the designers had to solve. That base is my usual backdrop with DIY trees I bought at the UK Nationals (wire armature, putty and scrim) Regards Andrew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edjbartos Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 Very nice Andrew, nicely painted and weathered, I have this kit to do, possibly next, now that I have seen how good yours looks I'm looking forward to starting it. Well done, good job...👍 Ed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
