I don't need to see a pic of a T34/85, they are etched in my mind. Gorgeous tank

Which kit is it Monica? I've got the AFV Club w/interior in my stash & I enjoyed building a Dragon one a few years back.


I'll look forward to watching this one - IMHO the T-34/85 is the best-looking WWII tank

I was thinking about getting a 1/35 T34, what's the AFV Club one like Patrick? I like their kits.

 

[monica]

it is the Dragon one,nd looks to be very nice,and has good detail as well,


so glad that you both like it,should be a fun build,always like them as well,

I dont think I have gotten a AFV,as in brand name so I,mite just have to try one,

From pawing through the sprues, the AFV one looks very nice. Better than Tamiya/Academy/Italeri, but not quite up to Dragon standard. But the difference is marginal & obviously AFV spent good money on the interior.


My personal choice for a T-34/85 would be this one

that's a very nice build,and what a different the PE,makes to the grills as well,some things like that,


just look a lot better done with PE,I like how there done the springs ,for the wheels,looks good,


but will be unseen in the final build,

 

[Guest]

Sorry Monica, I hijacked your thread a bit there. Really looking forward to this one

 

[monica]

not at all Graham,its very nice to see ,the pics of that one,I do like it a lot,


very well done with it,

 

[Guest]

I do like the T34 and most of the other Russian T's

 

[monica]

likewise Ralph,the Russian and German tank I just love the look of them,do real enjoy building


even if i have done before still like them,

 

[Guest]

[monica]

Looks like I may have to become Russianeefied and start looking at Russian tanks for the future.


So Monica what's the best one to start with without going into Dragon. I might even think of a Tiger and a Russian tank dio ( or is that old hat )


Even with no pics Monica we know your skill in your tankies is sublime.

[monica]

glad that you do like it,Robert,


if your not done a Russian tank you real should I,think,there enjoyable buils,


if your not thinking Drago,which I find alright,maybe try a Tamiya,or Zeveda, are both good kits as well,

 

[monica]

well a good day today got quite alot done,which I,m happy with,


so the next few days will leave set and cure ,then add the marking,


real love the Russian tanks,just one color but a few shades from dark to lite,were the weather hits it,


some may say its looking a little lite,but once you start with the weathering and washers will change the


over all look of her,


well hope you like what I have done so far,


she was an enjoyable build,even with all the wee fiddly bits hear and there,


so will be busy the next few days so not much will happen other than washers and so on,


cannot real do alot with the tracks until im home all day,maybe start the long parts and wait to do the bends


I know some will say wow that's very fast but its a very nice kit to do and just seamed to go together so well,


that's what I,m saying,
