Made in the USSR

All I can see is that monster punching through buildings in order to open the way through Berlin as the Red Army gets payback for Stalingrad.

Finished. To recap, it’s the RFM T80U OOB. No issues. Easy build. Tracks are indy workable. They require some time and patience but are nicely detailed. Painted with custom mixed Tamiya acrylic. In addition to an overall wash, pinwash, and dry brushing, there are several layers of mud and dirt on the lower hull and srveral shades of light dirt and dust AB over the entire vehicle. Thanks for looking.

Trumpeter KV-1 Model 1942 Heavy Cast Turret

This one surprised me. It was a pretty fun build. No significant trouble. All kit parts are assembled and ready for paint.

Edit: Just remembered something about the tool box needing a strap. Will look at some pictures and maybe add that.

Thanks for all the kind replies. I like to go for different/unusual colors. Get rather tired of seeing the same old “standard” colors. You can stretch things a bit more with modern stuff. Kind of hard to imagine a Tiger I in a similar colors. The Germans did come out with some pretty interesting patterns however. Thanks again to all.

Thanks. I’ve seen those and other similar. Most if not all are derelicts, or non operational vehicles in parks. While they are certainly different I prefer to do vehicles that are in service.
