This model started of as the remains of a 1/72nd scale matchbox T-34 that I had since I was a kid. Not a great deal of the original tank remained, just the hull and a couple of the wheels, so I attacked it with the razor saw
I cut the hull down the centre into half, then added a strip of styrene making it 20 mm wider
I then filled the gaps with miliput and putty, and sourced a T-54 turret that was spare and made it a new long gun barrel which I machined from aluminium with my electric drill.
I found some tracks and wheels in the spares box, I think they were from a self propelled Howitzer and stuck them on. I then stuck the turret on and modified the mantlet to fit the new barrel.
I then raided the bits boxes for some photo etch grills a gun and some other bits and bobs to stick on it. I also made a load of ERA bricks to stick on it, and some racks and straps for fuel tanks.Then I daubed it in olive green.
Sorry about the pics as I did this build a few years ago and the camera I had then was crap on a good day
Cheers
Chris.
