Looking good Jamie.

The test fit of the figures add a lot to the tank.

[Roy Schlicht]

Yeah, this whole project is fantastic. Makes me want to build another T-34, which is the most numerous tank type in my collection (tied with the Panzer I).

Thanks guys, got the interior painted and installed pics later. The upper Hull been glued to the bottom as well pics later. But I wonder do any of you have pictures of the side fender undersides?

[Roy Schlicht]

I'm sure I have some. I will have to look this weekend.

So, been lazy about updating as the progress is slow but there is progress. I ordered some Orange Hobby ice cleats and waiting for them to arrive, the may give me an insight into how these should get strapped in. did get some goodies in the mail this week, some bald burned out wheels from armorscale and some other things.
The only thing left to do on this T-34 is to do some turret interior stuff, which at this moment I don't have the inspiration to do, a few brackets for a box on the fender, some wiring to the headlights, and some buckles for a box that fell off and one for the transmission cover that fell off.

Anyways here's some pics.
so the bare bone interior got some pigments




clamped top to bottom for good bond- the fit was difficult but I got it.


some aftermarket tow cables arrived- these should do the trick.




the slight overhang


using some resin bolt and nuts to secure the spare tracks.

[Tim Coulson]

What make are the nuts and bolts?

I'm sorry to report that I was negligent in my quest to get some pics of the underside of the fender (although I am sure that I have some). Will try and remember to search this evening.

O.k. Here are the pictures I have of the underside of the fenders. They are off of a T-34/85 at McMinville, Or. I took the pictures a couple of years back. Hope they help.
