Very impressive work Dmitry!

I love russian WW2 armour but as my scratch building skills don't exist, I can only dream of making models like yourself.

Keep up the fantastic work!

Mike.

Greg, thanks.

With pleasure I will join this group.

In what thread I should show the work?

It will be possible to continue here?

Or it is necessary to place photos in your thread?

I am sorry - I don't know a rule of this site.


I hope that you understand my bad English.

Welcome to the group build! You can continue your thread here, and just add a pic into the running thread with the group here:
https://armorama.kitmaker.net/forums/186190&page=26#1623451

The idea of the group builds is to keep one another moving along. At the end date, all of the finished models will be displayed in an article on the Armorama homepage. This was what the first group build article looked like when we finished:

Hope you enjoy, Thank you

Quoted Text


I think that appearance of such tanks at the beginning of WW II would be an unpleasant surprise for Germans.



Well...but after the forst bad impression, also Germans would make a scratch model of them

Are those Master Club hex bolts and rivets available in North America? I use Tichy and Grandt Line products, but Master Club has a much bigger selection.

That's one cool-looking tank, and one really good model.
I think you should ask some company to make a mould of it; I really want one.

I'm awed!! That is looking as good as, if not better than, any kit on the market, and in 1/48 scale, no less! You are truly a modeler's modeler!

In my opinion, the Trumpeter now is more occupied by German armoured vehicles.

Amazing work mate. The detail is spot on. I have always wanted to see one of these things in scale and I think you have nailed it. Post pictures when you get it painted!
