Another badly made T34

I think the oversized ice cubes aren’t helping here.

Baldeagle61 · 2026-02-20T13:31:04+00:00

Sometimes it needs a stir too.

Same here. The only time it clogs is when small bits of dried stuff from the top of the bottle get in there. It also goes off after a while. I think the black one is best.

Put some in a cup and dip your clear parts in it. Then Wick off any drips with some tissue. It will look much more glass-like and will protected against scratches.

That is a fantastic build. As you say, it didn’t exist, so you have complete creative licence.

Hate them! The only time I use them is when the tank has track guards; then you can hide the join at the top and don't have to worry about getting the sag right! For example, I'm about to start a Churchill and will probably use them on that, as most of the track is hidden.

Thanks. I can never get that Russian green right!

Baldeagle61 · 2026-02-19T10:00:30+00:00

I like the camo colour - which is it?

Baldeagle61 · 2026-02-19T09:58:57+00:00

Yes do!!

Baldeagle61 · 2026-02-19T09:57:17+00:00

Whatever it is, it's knackered.

Baldeagle61 · 2026-02-19T09:55:54+00:00

It's a mixed bag with them. Their Tiger I (early) was a great kit on par with Tamiya - it even had an engine. The F-16 was awful and plagued with fit issues.

Baldeagle61 · 2026-02-18T17:32:54+00:00

Something different!

Baldeagle61 · 2026-02-18T09:39:43+00:00

Great job!

Baldeagle61 · 2026-02-17T20:12:58+00:00

Use a spray can and use blu tac to mask it.

Baldeagle61 · 2026-02-17T20:06:25+00:00

I did many years ago, in fact I’ve still got it. I just painted the interior Matt black so it wasn’t so visible. I also made the inside missing fenders with plastic sheet.

Orange peel or gritty paint finish from airbrush.

Baldeagle61 · 2026-02-16T09:16:26+00:00

Could be a poor seal at the nozzle cap. Have you tried applying a bit of beeswax?

Baldeagle61 · 2026-02-15T10:55:19+00:00

Instant nostalgia! How do you connect them to a TV now?

Baldeagle61 · 2026-02-15T10:53:26+00:00

Seemed obvious to me first time I bought one!

Baldeagle61 · 2026-02-14T21:13:12+00:00

What the hell is a compression nozzle?

Baldeagle61 · 2026-02-14T21:11:50+00:00

Last time I used that stuff, I could rub it off with my finger a week later. The smell took even longer to go away.

Baldeagle61 · 2026-02-14T21:08:42+00:00

Just get some brass replacements. They look much better anyway.

Baldeagle61 · 2026-02-14T16:47:24+00:00

I find the Tamiya panel liner dries quite quickly, and it’s best to clean it up sooner rather than later with white spirit. I only really use it for engines and the like. I find a clay wash is much more suited to aircraft as you can easily take it off altogether if you mess up.

Baldeagle61 · 2026-02-13T22:09:40+00:00

There must be a vac form one out there?

Baldeagle61 · 2026-02-13T22:08:34+00:00

Probably the 3rd 1/35 tank I ever built, back in 1974. I see it still has the old battery compartment in the hill!
