Dim_Thessalonica Posted January 5, 2023 Share Posted January 5, 2023 Happy New Year to all Britmodeler.com friends! Second armour posting for me here and first for 2023. It is the new 1/35 Italeri T-34/85 Korean War, painted as ex-JNA example during the Bosnian war. These tanks were already overused and really weathered, so I tried to represent mine as such, with chipping, pigments, washes and rust. The wheels are from Miniart, and I used the Star-decals sheet that includes these markings. Comments and questions welcomed. Best, Dimitris 30 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrancisGL Posted January 5, 2023 Share Posted January 5, 2023 Hi Dim, A good representation of one of my favourites, I have to make one of these some day, although I have one posted on the forum, the kit was very bad. Good Job! Cheers and HNY 🎅 Francis👍 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keeff Posted January 5, 2023 Share Posted January 5, 2023 Great job .... looks realistic and well used. That's the kind of finish I'm working towards with my builds. Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geo1966 Posted January 6, 2023 Share Posted January 6, 2023 You've done a great job with this one Dimitris. My only criticism would be that the barrel looks brand new, like you forgot to weather it. George Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bertie McBoatface Posted January 7, 2023 Share Posted January 7, 2023 That painting is absolutely superb. Really dramatic weathering. I love it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vytautas Posted January 7, 2023 Share Posted January 7, 2023 That is just excellent. And splendid. That is one very very nice build, Dimitris, in fact, it all looks brilliant, especially the painting, lots of lovely detail that you have done, really making this an excellent model.

Milan Mynar Posted January 8, 2023 Share Posted January 8, 2023 Nicely built and painted model, very nicely done scratches. Interesting marking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big_Bad_Bill Posted January 8, 2023 Share Posted January 8, 2023 Top notch. Love the restrained weathering, it's too easy to go overboard and make it look ready for the scrap heap, but you got it just right. It feels odd(?) to see the 4Cs on a vehicle. I only ever saw it as graffiti on ruined buildings from my time in Bosnia and Kosovo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nenad Ilijic Posted January 10, 2023 Share Posted January 10, 2023 Brilliant work Dimitris. Weathering is fantastic! And very suitable for the subject. Cheers, Nenad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a symbol used both by Krajina and Bosnian Serbs, there are many photos showing tanks and vehicles bearing this symbol. In my T-34/85 case it was more of a speculative artistic addition...
