While taking a brake from the Ferdinand build i decided to build my first T34 strait from the box
Not knowing a great deal about Russian armour ( only with the help of a few reference books in my collection ) i decided to build it OOB hoping Dragon have done most of the research for me
Confused with the amount of variants there in with this great little tank i only added some weld seams here and there , a tarp to add some interest , texture to some of the hull plates and replaced the kit tow cable with a Karaya one so any mistakes is all but my fault
It has only taken a week to build ( so much quicker without a ton of After Market gear ) so here it is in the flesh , ready for the first coat of primer
Oh , i also added an antenna , cast numbers on the turret using sprue numbers and a block of wood ( you sometimes see in original war photo's ) for some strange reason just to add some life to the kit
I will also be adding it to a small base so the gaps in the bottom links of the track will be hidden with mud ( that's the good thing about armour modelling ............. we can hide our mistakes :laugh:
Thanks for taking the time to have a look
As usual any comment etc are more than welcome
