Hello all!

Here is a well known Dragon T34 in 1:35.

I tried to replicate the famous k230 tank in front of Brandenburg gate. Generally I am happy with the result. I am aware it is unlikely a tank looked this dirty back then, but for me it is enough that it was possible for a vehicle to look like this, which I think it was. I like my models like this, dirty and rusty.

I had problems with the lightning while I took the pictures, I really have to prepare that photoboot better. Enjoy!













































































Best regards!

I think you nailed it,is mean Berlin was full of dirt,rubble,and debris,how could a tank not get dirty.Looks great.

sure did not over weather this t-34/85.like any kind of urban fighting,it is going to be very dusty and dirty from all the destroyed buildings.

Hi Stefan,

That's one fabulous T-34! I agree with the others, your etch screens are very well done, as well as your chipping and overall weathering, which believably reflects the harshness of the last few weeks of the war in and around Berlin. Great job!

Very impressive looking model. I'll leave it to you to decide if it's over or under done, your model after all. But I can certainly appreciate all the 'eye candy' on show here so all the hard work and fun shows!

The weathering & attention to detail are exceptional!! A couple crew members popping out of the hatches would be icing on the cake. Great job!
