Mine had a rod with spring on it along with another support. Dont know if it is applcable to the Mk III??

Yes,I will do them. They are missing on museum antenna.

And while building this tank I studies how to work with a big wood and epoxy and made a table. :relieved: Perhaps it will be my new workbench.

Very nice Artyom.

Fantastic Artyom,
I would take a look at the barrel alignment with the mantlet or does the the Besa armoured cover droop like that on the real tank. After all this work, wouldn't want something like this to spoil it.



I would say this is crazy stuff but I take my hat off to you for the amount of detail you put into this build. I take it you won't be painting it for the display in St Petersburg?

Cheers,
Richard

Hi,Richard! It's true. This problem was mentioned on Missing Lynx couple weeks ago. I already has broken MG mount and raised it to a barrel level. Tomorrow I will add some more epoxy and polish it. Thank you for attention! I appreciate that!

I think I will have some time to make an antenna basement and some holders before Friday. On Friday I will bring it to the Exhibition.

Thank you, Andrew! I negotiated with the best masters in painting in Russia.Everyone refused. They tell me that my models are to complicated and will be better not to paint them.

I've been thinking about this. On the one hand I do understand but on the other it's a shame not to see such a great model painted up, so why don't you buy a cheaper kit, build it out of the box for a change and have a go at painting it yourself??

Stunning work as usual.

Lots of reasons. I haven't paint for years. I need a new stuff all paints and special chemistry. I can scratch well without disturbing someone. But I can't paint at home because my son have an allergy. So I suppose that one day somebody will paint my models or I do it myself but if my circumstances will change in a better way.

 

[Neo]

Stunning work as usual.

Thank you!

Top drawer Neo, just the best!

Outstanding work a medal winner for sure.

Thank you! I am not sure if it will be a such nomination there. I just want to see my old friends after quarantine.

Hi Artyom
That is superb. Have a great day at the model show. I am sure your model will get lots of attention.
Jim

 

[Tim Marlow]

Sublime work, worthy of anything it wins. I think you may have nudged the barrel out of line setting up the pictures though...

 

[Neil Merryweather]

My God that is just Beautiful!
don't EVER paint it!

I guess this shows to all of us who didn’t know it about ourselves yet, that we’re just messing about with kits a bit
