Trumpeter 1/16 T 34/85

More photos when I get used to uploading them as im a lazy photographer, said to be one of the best tanks of the second world war, I would argue against this assessment, having said that the Trumpeter kit is sublime, highly detailed and what an amazing engine, apart from the odd instruction error and the many push-pin marks this is a joy...I need to upload some photographs of the sub-assembleys, this photo was done using a tablet and is a pita

in Tank entertainment cd racks just some of the pe available, and better than previous offerings from trumpeter



The fabulously detailed V-12 diesel engine waiting to be detailed up with the cold start system before the cylinder heads are glued in place, an idea I got from other modelers





Cyclone air filter system



Lower hull with working spring suspension, this must have been a righr nightmare to drive over rough country in

just a quick shot of the side walls nothing exciting yet as it is a big project

Thank you for looking and that reminds me to ask my lovely wife to take decent photos

My appologies for the rubbish photographs, at the moment im reading T 34 mythical weapon a real eye opener and I will submit a link to the overview of the engine and fuel system including oil electrics and cold start system if anyone is interested

You would love the kit Mike you can build it out of the box it has so much detail inside and for the fraction of the cost of Tamiya, can't wait to see what Lee does with his build

The only dissapointing part of this build is the push pin holes everywhere as it really slows progress down

Definitely following this! Would love to tackle this kit after my Tiger

Really great progress mate.
What the hell though with all the injection points.
A few you can deal with but that amount is wrong.
Great build of a iconic tank.
Keep going

The price is a fraction of the Tiger 1 Chris and you would enjoy this a lot

If they where not visible John I wouldn't mind, I plan to leave as much to see inside as possible I have removed the turret roof for better viewing, thank you guys
