Dear fellow Britmodellers,

this is the new 1/72 T-34/85 from chinese company Flyhawk.

The Flyhawk kit is another tooling masterpiece from the far east, including photo-etch pieces. All parts are sharp and crisp and fit well, the tracks even allow the characteristic sagging. The metal towing cable is very stiff, so I replaced it with 0.60mm wire from Eureka. The figure is from CMK.

I painted with Mr.Hobby acrylics and weathered with artist oils, graphite pen, pastels and mud from my garden. Additional stowage from Blackdog.

That's excellent work! There are many T-34 kits in 72-scale, but this has got to be the best looking one I have to say!

Especially the tracks look really good, which is often difficult to pull off in this scale.

Another nice one, Roman! I missed the release of this kit, may have to get one myself 🙂

I'm not huge into 1/72 armour like I was when I was a kid, but have started ronsip my toes back in those waters.  I've never heard of Flyhawk before-they look very nice.  Are they comparable to Vespid or more like Dragon's offerings?

Your stuff looks great!

The new Flyhawk T-34/85 is an excellent kit, on par with the latest Vespid releases in terms of fit and detail.

In my opinion it's superior to Dragon's T-34/85 (which dates back to 2006), because it features photo-etch grills and towing cables.

While Dragon's original releases offered photo-etch parts and towing wires as well, their latest re-issues no longer include these, and their rubber-band tracks are always problematic.
