International Scale Modeller

Hi all this will be my very first build in this forum hope you guys like it

Anyway the reason I bought this cuz I love the turret it gives you a look of a beautiful tank... and the other reason was I was pinned on watching Coen's t-34 videos

Here's the boxart an old kit..


and here's yur build




the figures are for masterbox those are german infantry in the eastern front. I will post it with my panzer 3
boxart





That's the build so far hope you guys will bear with my slow progress cuz i'm still a young kid studying
Can anyone share some photos of this particular tank I would like to use it as reference to carry on the build. I need photos of the interior of the turret cuz I'll start building it and dragon did not give any colour info for the turret !!!


Matthew..

Hey there Matt.
That's an awesome kit buddy. Nice choice!!
It will go together like a dream.
It's a dragon kit so the instructions are busy. Take your time with it and you'll have a blast.
I can see about finding some reference shots for you.
As for interior colours, T34s were painted an off white (very light cream) for the interiors.

Thanks Coen I'll take note on the interior but is the main gun cream white too??? the inside part of course

Nice choice dude.

Ill look forward to this build.

I am yet to build a dragon kit so will be watching this with interest.

Thanks Guppy for the nice comments.

This is the first time ever people in a forum treated me as a modeller and not laugh at my works thank you ISM!!!

Here's a few shots from my own library and a few shots from the references that I have on my computer.

A few shots of the tank that you have there with different schemes.





Here is a generalised layout of the colours in a T34. This is a newer turret than the one on your model, but the colours would be the same.
The breach would be the same could as the outside of the vehicle where the majority of the interior is a semi-gloss white/cream colour.
It would also never be this clean haha.









Some black and white interior shots so you can see the equipment.

The back wall


Commander/Gunner's position


Breach






A perspective drawing.

Thanks for the pics Coen now I can start building the turret.

Many Thanks

Great pics Michael thanks for that

Anytime.
That's what scanners are for haha.

Looking great so far!

And forget those other forums - they laugh at you again, you tell them your new buddies at ISM are right behind you!

Thanks for the encouragement Alex will do hahahaha

Hi EasyEight, great work on the T-34. Also a belated welcome to ISM.

If you look in the reference section of the forum, Lee has added a seriesof books in .pdf format and there is a T-34 reference book. I'm sure if you ask Lee nicely, he will let you "borrow" it.

You got laughed at?
WTF? Who would do that?

It's true I posted a build of my F-86 sabre but it criticized and as usual kids dont know anytime on and on and on so its an insult for me cuz not all kids nowadays know how to build one

Thanks again for the encouragement Coen sure I'll make sure that I ask if I'm having difficulties

Mark Twain said it better than I can -

"Keep away from people who try to belittle your ambitions. Small people always do that, but the really great make you feel that you too, can become great."

And there are some truly great people on this forum.

Thanks Alex you guys just make my day and now on to the t-34 and the corsair for cold war GB oorahhhh

Is there anything that can be done to fix it?
Is there anything that we can do to help??
I have parts if you need some.

Thanks Coen for the help but before I even see the damage they threw the t-34 and the corsair
But for compensation they bought for me the same t-34 from dragon again and other kits too will post them tonight

Matt

Well that was good of them.
It makes up for all the time and work you put into them.
Still... As the boys here like to say... I'm gutted for ya buddy.

Oh no thats terrible, hope you get sorted, if you need any help please ask on the forum

Will do Paul I'll ask if I need assistance

Coen,
Ya they felt guilty that their child broke em so they bought it another good news is the new kits are vintage kits from airfix , matchbox and new kits like dragon 1/35 M48 Patton and more yahoo!!!

Bonus!!!
