I have a soft spot for those russian tractors. Please share your experiences.

Michael: so far the kit is very good. Great fitting, easy & fun to build. You can build a nice OOB model, only the hanrails are to be replaced, and som extra wires and tubes. The only weak point (for me) are the tires.

Does OKB Grigorov make MAZ tires?
2 November 2023, 12:50
Zsolt Czegle
Yes they do, but there are also some Russian producers, but it's very difficult nowadays to order from Russia

nice start, count me in

Ah, I just now realise that this is the Takom kit and not the ModelCollect one. With the latter I expected some problems aligning the frame. Good to know that the Takom kit does not seem to have this issue.

I think the build and upgrades are done. Tomorrow I'll start with the T-72

How is the T-72? I have that kit but not started. Also the resin wheels look great, where did you get those from?
7 November 2023, 07:34
Michael Kohl
You managed the dreaded Revell tracks quite well.

Zsolt Czegle
LC76: The kit is good. you can bild a nice OOB vehisle. BUT there are some point I'll upgrade to get a more accurate tank. The wheels are from a Modelcollect kit (I built years ago) they looks more accurate then the Revell's wheels, so I replaced them.

Michael: Danke Sehr! It was a little bit tricky, I think it's by1 track link shorter...

I thought I recognised that matchstick. 🙂
It's a huge model for 1/72!

Łukasz Gliński
Zsolt, have you considered painting the matchstick's head in Magyar tricolore? 😉

1:72 is too small for me but, when they are done right, absolutely astounding. You Sir, are well on your way to a sweeeet piece. Will be watching.

Looks great mate! 👍
If you have an 3D Printer or know someone who does, you can get the STL Files online for the MAZ Wheels and print them out.

Zsolt Czegle
Thank you mates for your kind words!

Thanks for the info Ingo, but I've already "ordered" from Armada Hobby these bonus wheels. They released the MAZ in resin kits, so I'll get new wheels for the tractor.

I primed the whole train in black. Now can come the more interesting part the "coloring"
27 November 2023, 05:13
Zsolt Czegle
Base color with fading and color modulation airbrushed
29 November 2023, 18:57
Zsolt Czegle
I airbrushed the shadings and shadows with AMMO Shader.
The decals are also applied.

What a beautiful work of art - with details to boot. Who knew you could stuff that much eye candy in 1/72?!

Congratulations! Best that you occasionally add the match to the pictures because otherwise I would not know that this is a 1/72 scale model. It's a normal standard match isn't it ? 😉

Simon Nagorsnik
Applause for the master in 1/72nd scale!! 👏👏
24 April, 17:24
Tom B.
Definetly some well deserved prize(s) 👍 With the level of small scale work at Moson I don´t know if I´d dare to compete there... definetly will have to check the show out in the future though with all the 72nd-crowd apparantly being there!

Thank you mates for your kind words! I really appreciate it!
