Watching. I think these Russian light tanks are interesting subjects.

Looks like the tracks are tricky. Would love to learn more about how you are assembling and fitting them.

@ Ben I used a steel ruler to align them to be straight. A little Cement between the links, let it settle for a while till the glue settled. Stick them to tape, wrap them carefully around the running gear. Let it settle and fully dry.

No cement should touch the running gear. So be careful during the whole process.

Looking good 👍

Olivier
Is it an ambulance tank ?

Phil Paradis
It looks small....interesting tho

Its an unarmed ambulance tank, based on pictures from „beutepanzer" website.
Its 1:35 but feels like 1/48...

I can't imagine trying to stuff an injured soldier in through the little hatches and such. I saw pictures before of soldiers practicing putting someone into an ambulance version of the Matilda II and it required an elaborate wooden hoist.

Maybee this served only to transport Battalion or Regimental doctors in frontlines? 🤔

Michael Kohl
very well done. I particularly like how you achieved an interesting look on this monochrome vehicle without going overboard.

This vehicle is based on a captured T-38 from beutepanzer.ru.
It was clearly unarmed and probably just a backup vehicle. There was no evidence of additional built or structure on any picture for transport utilization.

@Michael, thanks a lot. Always a bit afraid of wheatering so I tried to keep it as subtle as possible.
