discussion Jon's T-62M in Afghanistan Trumpeter 1/35

[Jon Heptonstall]

Here's my contribution to the group build.
Trumpeter's 1/35 T-62 mod.1984 comes with the complete up-armoured package with rubberized side skirts and the passive frontal armour on the turret-Ilich's Eye-brows!
I'll add a couple of bits like Masterclub's OMsh tracks and fuel pipes etc. plus 2 or 3 figures later.
Idea is for a mountain ambush in winter somewhere in the Panjshir valley in 1986.
Spurs bits and making a start soon!

Seat please Jon, are we to expect one of your great dios as well ?

 

[Lee Drennen]

Wow Jon very nice and I love the extra goodies. Seated next to John

 

[Steve Jones]

Seat next to Lee and John. Best of luck with the Master Club tracks. Looking forward to seeing the Voyager PE. Looks a nice project. Good luck my friend

I'm getting a seat, too. The "ouverture" sounds inviting and it's a nice subject both for the tank and for the location.

Now that sounds cool!!!

 

[Tim Marlow]

Interesting to see what you make of this Jon.

Hi Jon
That sounds good. I've used Voyager PE a couple of times and always found it good - nice and shiny too :tongue-out3:

Just a bit behind with this!
Impressed with the RMSh single link tracks from T-Rex Studios.No clean up,all track pin holes patent and nice detail.It says no glue required but a lot of the pins are fairly loose so just a spot of extra-thin does the trick.

 

[Lee Drennen]

Nice start Jon. I was wondering where you were.

John,
I will follow along mate.

Good to see this on the go. Tracks look nice.
