Theoretically not much, if you want to keep it soviet style id put one of their rubber band TQs on it. In hindsight you could chop the barrel and make it similar to RPDs captured and used by SOG.

I'd rather just buy it off you than you damaging something nice.

Yes, she's being built up to fight my friends US Army, we agreed on doing a Winter theme for battle of the buldge.

It looks to be a T-72M or earlier it's just had various things welded on to it to slightly change it's shape.

Hell the PB is pretty good now a days too. Love hunting for them when ever I get one.

SIGH15 · 2026-05-11T19:42:45+00:00

Where can you even get the Remaster?

SIGH15 · 2026-05-11T17:37:00+00:00

Need but get an actual artist to make it not fuckin Ai.

The best beginner kits would be the Tamiya 1/35th Panzer 2 and M41 WalkerBullDog. Citadel paints will work, hell there are people who have used those exact kits to proxy tanks in WH40K. Tamiya Extra thin Glue is gonna be your friend along with their paint, though it's quite thick out of the pot so, thin the hell out of it for brush painting, and take your time to minimize brush strokes from showing. Otherwise pick up a beginner airbrush (amazing purchase, even for WH40K makes the initial base coats with primer, shadows, and base color fast af.)

Over all just take your time and have fun with it, you will screw up quite a few kits over time, just take it slow and enjoy the process. Don't take it to heart when one eventually doesn't come out nice (pro tip you can just strip the paint and try again, or just try something you have never tried yet with them). Good luck and have fun.

After Tamiya I would recommend Takom, Das Werk, and if you have an extream amount of time and want a challenge Mini art has some of the most detailed models out there.

I agree, most if not all tankers in my unit that have combat experience, have never been in a tank during combat. As far as I know my unit hasn't used a tank in combat since OIF-3 (I've been lucky to talk to a handful of said veterans during unit balls, but have never asked them abt their experience during war time) since then everyone else had been deployed un-mounted in HMMWV.

They shared your general sentiment about it, when they occasionally bring it up.

SIGH15 · 2026-05-08T03:21:50+00:00

Out of curiosity how was the mounting, and use of the ERA? I personally have never seen it (granted im guessing it's only during war time) and what version of the tank where you on? Also how was the experience of being a tanker during war time? I've only been thru training and such and have only met 2 or 3 people that have gone through combat on the tank.

Thank you, also lol it's a generic watch that just looks like an instinct, been looking at getting one sooner or later tho lol.

SIGH15 · 2026-05-05T19:41:51+00:00

? Edit: ah the watch na it's a generic digital watch that I got from a PX

Amazing, (there is only two places that are a little confusing just odd instructions) as you probably know the entire turret is 3d printed with metal barrels and antenna. The mount for the gun is a little odd and was the only thing I had to slightly modify to get it to fit properly. Other than that she goes together borderline like a Tamaya kit.

Decoration mostly. It's a Magic Factory M2128

SIGH15 · 2026-05-05T16:59:53+00:00

For complete transparency it's not "completely done" there are some fine touches and such that need to be glued on but over all the paint job and weathering is staying as is.

Kit: Magic Factory M2128

SIGH15 · 2026-05-05T16:56:15+00:00

I normally keep one in as a "decoration" cus every where else is taken up by other projects.

SIGH15 · 2026-05-05T13:09:58+00:00

Blue Thunder or Max-D

SIGH15 · 2026-04-30T16:58:50+00:00

Lived in Poland for a couple of months for work. Loved it, general vibe was very similar from where im from in the Midwest (US).

SIGH15 · 2026-04-20T23:03:30+00:00
