Good morning to everyone,

I post some photos of my latest work, a T34/76 mod.43 from Hobby Boss; this is a very fine model, with complete interiors and engine bay. I've assembled the kit with basic improvement and with some photo etched details from Royal Model. 

I've tried to resemble  the personal  tank of the Major Roi, 25th tank Guards Regiment, on the Mius river front in July 1943 as illustrated on the Squadron ” T-34 in action”.

Painting was made with TAMIYA acrylic paints then I washed with Bruno Van Dick oil color and added a great amount of mud on the undercarriage of the tank. 

I worked with different washes for simulate different kind of mud, the dry and the wet one. I Highlighted the upper part of hull with oil pastels and added dirt and rust effects with oil colors.

The display is very basic, a black painted base with a Das layer and with some natural dry grass painted with Humbrol enamels.

1/48 is an amazing scale and after my first kit I've other models yet to assemble!
I hope You enjoy this kit and suggest me critics, topics and our impressions, thanks to all!

Good evening to all of us, sorry for delaying the answers at your post. I've assembled the interior of the hull, but I didn't paint it 'cause I was trying to enhance color and weathering of the tank..the motor and transmission assembly I've decided to retain in order to create a 1/72 version… so I use the pieces for studying dimensions and shape. There's a version in 1/72 of KORA but it's very simple ..and raw!
