Well I have officially got the s@#ts with aircraft and need a break, so instead of finishing off my Abrams I thought I would do a cold war tank on the other side of the wall .......

Looks so mean.
Tamiya are so the bomb (can,t say that at 48 so the wife says).
Good luck and get some pictures up soon.

have now got the turret pretty much built, also done a coat of black undercoat before spraying it with TS-28 - all thats left to do on the turret now is the detail painting and attaching (or at least try to) "wet black" mirrors to the viewing ports

It's a t55 go whack it with a file in a few places for effects

Comng along nicely RED... you might want to rough up the cast texture of the turret even more... it's there but it's not enough .. I had to put much more on my Enigma to make the cast texture more prominent
