Dobry den, As I'm just about finished on my Grossdeutschland Pz.IV, I thought I'd make a T-34/85 using DML's 6266 Premium kit mitt bed spring armour.
I've also got the Aber etch set 35045 inbound and I might stretch to some Fruils. This one will be depicted as a vehicle from the 23rd Tank Corps, near Vali, in Hungary in early 1945.
This is going to be fun as I will be completely out of my comfort zone building this vehicle, feel free to criticise as long as it's helpful. A big thanks to Scott for some initial help.
Now, before I begin, some questions which you'll have to excuse if they're stupid ones. The kit is based on a vehicle from Factory 183. Looking at the preserved vehicle at Staraya (which Staraya??) on the excellent
www.legion-afv.narod.ru there seems some differences. I wonder if they are differences or just production variations on the real thing?
1. The orientation of the episcope mounts. The kits are angled, should the straight sides run parallel with the vehicle?
2. The kits roof seems a little low and could use an overlay of 10-20 thou card. Correct?
3. The bevelled area seems to go higher on the real thing compared to the kit, nearer to the top of the bulge for the power traverse. Or is it my eyes?
Thanks -
Andrey
