Hi Ian - nice looking paint

Those fuel cans - are they from the kit? Over twice the size they should be

Yes they are Simon

Ian ..
Wow, first sorry I'm rather late , Rick was quite correct about turning up.
Looks good , esp the Berlin additional mesh . In the photo you can see it was taken in Berlin, slight shot of the Brandburg Berg Gate added protection against the use of
the Panzerfaust..
Very nice , made a good job .:thumb2::thumb2::thumb2:

Well I said I was going to make a base for this, so I’ve started.

Enjoying this. I love the tank weathering. Just enough but it still scares the hell out of me at the moment. One day though

 

[Guest]

Exciting now the colour is going on :smiling2:
Love the position of the T34 against the remains of the house.

Base off to a good start Ian

is that building Italeri by any chance? it looks very much like a scaled down version of the 35th scale one they used to do

Thanks Guy's.
Simon yes it is from Italeri. There's a church and some wall sections in the kit as well, but as you can see I'm not using them for this one.

Got the basic colours on just need to dirty them up. And a rough idea of the set up.
