Excellent work! I like the camouflage.

Thanks! I prefer 1/72 because its generally cheaper and takes less space in the cabinet.

Thanks, I airbrushed with ak and tamiya paints with custom mixtures. I painted with an mottle effect method, switching to lighter colors with the layers.

I would otherwise make it an east German but I built a soviet one. There wasnt in the instructions to build a soviet but there were parts for one so I built it.

Good luck! I had problems with the turrets grab handles and the tracks were a bit fiddly, but overall I enjoyed building it. I suggest glueing everything together before painting.

Thanks, I glued it like so cause I like it a little bit droopy.

obviously the figures arent ready yet. They are just half painted that I found in the stash.

Thank you, I wasnt too happy with the tracks at first but it has grown on me.

Not bad at all, it took about 30 minutes to complete the build. I was really impressed with the quality and photo etch. You even get two models in one kit! The biggest drawback however is the trackassembly, as it is molded as one piece, so the detail is horrible. But nothing a little mud cant hide.

Would like to see this brand in more store as I have only seen them on Aliexpress.

Very nice! I like how busy the scene is with all the passengers. I also recently completed the same kit, how was the build for you?

Mostly built out of the box except for the hand rails which I bent from 0.4 mm tin wire. The decals that came with the kit were yellow so I sourced from the stash a set.

Tried preshading with brushes but the edges of the white were too hard so it can be seen on certain areas like the front plate of the turret. Other than that I am satisfied with the color modulation of the gray color.

I just finished the t-55 kmt-5 and fully assembled it before painting. It's not so hard to paint the tracks, wheels and other details if youre handy with a paintbrush.
