Zvezda 1/35th T.34 1941/42 "Ekhranami".

[Richard48]

Hi all.
Trying hard to reignite my flagging mojo.Was having a quick read of a Euro modelismo book on "Tanks in Russia" Volume 2.Saw an interesting T34 with applique armour added on the turret sides.They used the old Tamiya T34 76 kit but i got this beast from e.bay cheap last year.The tracks are in 2 pieces and grey colour.So seeing how they fair when i get to them.The book has some templates to make the turret armour which is a help.But i shall see how they fit on this kit.

Well done Rich go for it the Zvezda stuff is ok you might have to do a little extra cleaning and fettling but that keeps it intresting, your kit in your time dont make yourself feel committed just because you've shown us ,none of us know what it is that switches the switch but this build could well be the one.
