| Turret modifications - Part II | Aug 9, 2006 |
It's been a long timne since I posted images... well here's the update:
* Finished gun mantlet.
* Added port vision and coaxial MG covers (this last one has a canvas cover, made with epoxy putty)
* Added periscopes.
* Finished loader's copula and hatch.
These bars in the turret sides will be for attaching the AT-3 missile launchers. As per references, I've added some cast moulding numbers in both of the cupolas. These numbers are from Tamiya sprues. The DSh-K machine gun mount is like the T-62's, so it needs a lot of modifications as the kit's provided is totally unaccurate. In the next update, the AA-machine gun mount will be complete. Comments welcome.
PS: The tank I'm modelling is the peruvian T-55AM, locally modified and called "León-1" |
