Ron Goins shows his BT-7, which he finished with Model Master enamels and then weathered with oils. Thanks Ron!

This is an absolutely beautiful piece of work. Rarely do I see such a quality finish on this oft-neglected model. Just beautiful. Maybe I'm biased though, as I always loved the design of this tank.

Bloody excellent, amigo. The BT7 looks like it is ready crank up and start rolling. Nice details and the weathering is one of the best I have seen. Nice work with the lens also. The rusting effect looks real. Most impressive. How about a figure and some groundwork to round off a suberb model?

Great job of weathering. Was this the EE kit?

nice build, I just started my own EE kit, some difficulty in fitting the hull together well,but nothing that can be fixed, one thing bothers me , the wheels, I don't seem to get it right with the palns, it doesn't make sense, could the parts be mis-numbered?
did you have any problems?
there was a problem with the kit's exhausts, did you fix it?

You've replied to a very old post, almost 2 years ago. Don't expect an answer.
