OK, so I need to make a base as muddy as the tracks, this will
help hide the poor quality. Perhaps these will be replaced with
PART items when I can get them.
The model has MV lenses for the headlights and a robbed an
88mm ammo box for the tool storage, figured they picked it
up in the field :) Other than that it is OOB.
As for the markings, most model 1940 T-34s had none, but
the kit comes with a great range of decals so I picked a scheme
and went with it. Those that survived long enough may have
had it applied, but it is only speculative artistic license because
I wanted some interest on the turret.
This one took second place 1/72 armor recently at the IPMS Richmond show in Virginia. Great show and good venue, and I got JagdPanther and JagdTiger for cheap!
Last but certainly not least, thanks to Dragon Models USA, via Saúl
García, for the review sample of this kit.
Cheers,
Donovan
