This Clown's a Joker! Serb T-34B

Kinda like the Pacific Mustang I did.

Wow, over three years and I finally took a close look at the MiniArt kit instructions to see that their model wouldn't be correct for this Serb Clown! So, it is coming off the Shelf of Doom! I will thanks @jknaus for that!

Written update, photos will follow. I found some bowing on the upper rear hull plate so detached one side to chamfer and see if that alleviates the issue. Cut off the Dragon roadwheel arms and replaced them with parts from a MiniArt Su-85 (I have two kits of which one has an interior) This guarantees a perfect fit to the MiniArm T-34 'Starfish' wheels. Then I only have to adapt the Trumpeter wheel if I decide on replacing the molded on hub cap so it matches Miniart's.

I just discovered this post and must have missed it at it's beginning. Great work Saul!

You can see the myriad of parts used for this. Looks horrible from within...

Yet passable from the outside. Exhausts don't reach the firewall but not visible once the air exhaust louvers are added again. They were removed to allow for painting.

Hey it's starting to look like a tank.

Oy! Since I took the turret from the AFV Club kit, and the hull tub is a mess, I decided to graft the hull interior into the Dragon hull tub and add the AFV Club interior to the turret as at least that was guaranteed to fit. Photos incoming! I'd like to try painting some items first. Who knows! Depends on whether or not I am whisked away on another shopping trip since my son returns to University next Monday (MLK day).

Shopping trip or shopping TRAP? For some reason that word blipped an "A" for a second in my vision instead an "i". Thought you would find it interesting.
