Martinnfb Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 Also the T-34 had floating trucks, where the pins were not secured in the links and as the tracks move they are passing a point on the hull that presses the loose pins back in. Check out the loose pins. Simple, smart and effective 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check out the loose pins. Simple, smart and effective I bet the pins striking that plate contributes to a lot of the track noise on the ones I've heard in person. There is definitely a load "clacking" sound noticeable - that's probably what I'm hearing. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel_Roxy Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 Looks really good. Personally being also an avid game player I use WarThunder for images and ideas of things like how stuff should look. The tanks are modeled really well and you can preview anything in any nation so gives a good 3D model you can look at. Might be helpful might not. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FullArmor Posted February 4 Author Share Posted February 4 Does anybody know what kind of antenna goes here? How long? Any advice is welcome! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FullArmor Posted February 7 Author Share Posted February 7 Antenna. I did not find any reference photos so i did build this. Correct me if this is all wrong. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FullArmor Posted February 7 Author Share Posted February 7 Build mostly finished. Perhaps i will add some stowage and more battle damage. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jep1210 Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 Very nice. As for the antenna, I'm no expert but it looks perfect to me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FullArmor Posted February 11 Author Share Posted February 11 Some stowage added: -Log taken from trumpeter T-72 kit. -Metal assault rifle SVT40 in 1/16 from https://www.rctank.de/Metal-assault-rifle-SVT40-in-1-16-unpainted -SOL - 1/16 water canister, 20l from https://www.rctank.de/SOL-1-16-water-canister-20l -Metal MP 717 / PPSh 41 with magazine, 2 pcs in 1/16 from https://www.rctank.de/Metal-MP-717-PPSh-41-with-magazine-2-pcs-in-1-16-unpainted This is wehrmacht item but perhaps soviets have stolen it in campaign 😉 SVT40 too big to fit well inside and thus left outside🧐 PPSh 41 is fine but perhaps not using it. Because it wouldn't make sense to leave this outside. 🧐 I will save this my trumpeter SU-100 build which has interior. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocRob Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 A very nice build with lots of attention to detail, which somehow skipped my attention until now. I would have imagined better detail on a kit in this scale, but on the other hand, it´s a pleasure to follow your modifications and detailing.
