Another kit that I finally finished during my COVID isolation.
You can search the internet for the images that inspired me to build this,here are a few at Getty.
What I liked about this vehicle was that it was like a mobile home for the Anti Taliban fighters. The DShK was replaced by the 14.5 KPVT machine gun mounted on the turret and a spare stowed in the front of the bow along with firewood, potatoes and anything else that might come in handy. On some tanks (T-62’s included) you can see onions stored to keep dry on the rear turret.
I hope you enjoy it.
Armor_Buff, kind of you to say and an A plus plus that’s excellent. I enjoyed making the onions and potatoes, you’ve got to have your veggies with all that armour.
Very dynamic static scene that looks totally photo-realistic.
Wow, this is one of the best representations of a T-55 in the Afghanistan conflict that I’ve ever seen. The addition of the onions and potatoes was a clever way to signify a human presence on am old MBT.
Oliver, thank you. These T-55 Aber brass sheets are designed so they actually work, or rather they can be positioned open or closed.
I used solder to build up all the Aber Brass, I have never seen any other brass this complex other than perhaps the Voyageur brass slat armour for the Stryker.
Thanks for looking closely ;o)
are a fantastic detail! All of the hards work and aftermarket paid off!
