T34 update and end

I started this at the end of November last year (I think :-?). I have posted a few pictures of the build at the beginning of the year. It is now finished and all my wife keeps asking is where we will put it. At 1:16 scale, it is a little larger than a matchbox car or Dinky Toy, more in the Tonka Truck size

That is some serious museum display quality work there!

I don't think I've seen so much perfect attention to detail like this before.

And honestly, the fuel tank stains look great, at least in these pics they do, the one darker stain just looks a little fresher than the others. ;)

Fantastic Matt! (I've always been a fan of Soviet hardware...) 8-) 8-)

Liking the Russian writing on the tank, am I right in saying it reads "Glory to the Motherland"? (my Russian is a bit rusty... ;D)

You have it one. All I did was Google English to Russian a typed in glory and motherland and copied what came out. Not sure how accurate it is, but it seems to work judging from your reaction :D

Ah, good! I did think it said that... :D

Again, a really great model you've built yourself there, seems taking two months really paid off! :)

Maybe it's time to donate a few works to a museum. ;)
