T34/76 Mod. 1940

This is the DML T34/76 just before painting. I purchased this kit when it was initially released because I was looking for a fun build and a subject that I knew very little about. A lack of references was a big factor for me in order to avoid the continual urge to spend months detailing and correcting the kit. As such I limited myself to basic improvements with little thought/effort being devoted to accuracy.

Overall, this is probably the closest I have come to an OOTB project in a long time. The DML T34/76 is a great kit, that is easy to build and only requires a few improvements. The most difficult part of this project was replacing the engine grill (about 2 hours work) and I believe this detail has been correcteding the Mod. 1941 version.

The kit was detailed using Mr surfacer, styrene, brass stip, brass wire, aluminum mesh and few PE buckles from the spares box.
