I needed to do something different to off set the "Smart kit" syndrome so I looked through some of my books and thought of some of the models out there and came up with this one. I am using the Zvezda T-34/76 as the base kit and the Maqutte T-34 1940 kit for its early wheels and link to link tracks. Both kits did not cost that much and the Zvezda kits is not a bad model. On the other hand the Maquatte kit is only good for some of its parts. I will be building the tank seen from the Squadron T-34 book since the Zvezda kit comes with the exact decals to match.

| Turret | Jul 23, 2006 |
I built the turret out of the box. It has a nice cast texture but I went ahead and added some Mr. Surfacer 500 anyway.
I also use the kit barrel. It is a one piece mold with an end cap. I painted it with Mr. Surfacer and then sanded it smooth. |
