Thanks Andrew so glad he’s in
So am I.
Thought he might take some persuading but no. We even get a Russian commander too, so he can have a go at figure painting!!
More great news! How old is he? I’m going to add some Zvezda figs to mine I think.
Nick. I did some research and yes it’s a old Esci kit. Re-boxed with new decals by Italeri in 2007.
Fantastic we did it I’ve got Ten updating the list and handing it over to Ian.( Mr. Muddle)
Ok gang we now have Ten I’ll hand this over to Ian(Mr. Muddle) I want to thank each of you for participating in this GB. Remember it’s all about having fun and I think it will be.
He's 13 coming up 14.
Thanks at least he has a interest in building models.
You do know that's a common Covid symptom don't you??!!?
:smiling5:
Easy Rick your going to hurt yourself but I can’t wait to see what your up to.
Andrew I think he just overloaded his brain that’s all.You do know that's a common Covid symptom funny you??!!?
Revell do/did a T34 in 1/35. I found it to be almost a 'shake & bake' kit which flew together with absolutely no problems. Someday soon I hope to finish painting it!
PS Can't speak to the accuracy and the details may be somewhat simplified but I enjoyed it.
And I will do my bit then hand it back to you. Well done.
I did not for one minute think it would be hard to grab 10 for this one. LOL
Dave,
If it was a T-34/76 it was a reboxing of the Zvezda model
If it was a T-34/85 it was a reboxing of the ICM model
Revell certainly don't mind swapping suppliers!
Dave
As a further to the difference between the Zvezda & ICM models - there's not a lot to choose, as far as detail goes, BUT where the Zvezda model wins, is in the tracks
The link & length tracks come on sprues that join together to form a jig........................
On which you can assemble the tracks off the model - making it easier to paint tracks & roadwheels
Quite the easiest form of track assembly in modelling today!
ps I have fear & loathing pf vinyl tracks!!!! ( why I haven't made many ICM tanks! )

I really hated the ICM tracks when I made their T34 tractor Dave. That Zvezda idea looks good...
