my new t-34/85
last thing i needed was another tank but this was very cheap so it had to be had
the reson i got it cheap was it had a broken lug on on the turret base this was fixed very easily with some superglue and kicker
havent modified anything yet just cleaned up the flash that was on most of the parts and removed the huge blobs of glue holding the tow cables down(glue monkey after a few coffies) ill be moving the antenna to the turret roof and getting the photo etched grills also filling the holes in the engine deck(for the speaker) and drilling new holes in the grill
im going to try and avoid painting for the time being with the exeption of some parts inside it has clear parts painted to simulate an explosion flash ,this is all very nice but i dont like the fact i can see daylight throgh the tank
overall nothing too major

RE: t-34/85
the colors ok i would have preffered the green but i didnt have an option the underside is silver which has got to be painted thankfully thats a brush job ive seen that most people on these forums rip the innards out and put other electronics in thats a bit beyond me for the moment one thing i would like to know is if/when i add the etched grill how will i connect the lower and upper hulls? theres a screwhole that will be covered by the grill

For the time being, I just omitted that screw, filled in the hole and used the remaining screws underneath. Later I will use pins and magnets instead of those screws.
