The kit is marvelous! Everything a modern plastic technology can provide is there. Even the smallest machinegun barrel comes drilled-out on the sprue! And PE fret is just right enough. The only custom modification I made were the two small handles. I made them out of wire, because the PE ones are a bit flat for my taste, and they are also the easiest thing to scratch-build. Definitely recommend this kit - and all others from FlyHawk. A manufacturer to keep an eye on!

Thanks, mates! I have another box of this gem of a kit, and strongly considering to cross-kit it with the TUSKII from Tiger Models (that is immensly more poor comparing to this one). Though I have a hunch that we might see TUSKII from FlyHawk in some future.

great job on the model, and also in the little vignette... excellent !

Pavel Pinzhin
Spanjaard, thank you! The vignette is pretty simple: a jar of pre-mixed texture earth from Wilder for the ground, a bit of sand and gravel, two-tone painting - overall green-bluish-gray for nice shadows, and then light-biege, airbrushed from one side at a sharp angle to the surface; and a couple of pre-made grass tufts from ArmyPainter. Plug it into a cheap photoframe - and that's it! 🙂

Amazing work. What reference color did you use for the tank?

Villiers de Vos
Very nicely done.

Pavel Pinzhin
Thank you, mates!
@Gliterden - I've painted the tank overall with Tamiya XF59 Desert Yellow lightened with XF57 Buff, but I found it still too dark and saturated, so I heavily covered it over with diluted pure Buff, leaving the original colour only as shadows. For the reference I used random photos online, more to get the overall feel rather than the actual colour.

Definitely looks like a bigger scale model!
