Hello,
Thank you for motivating words :)
This weekend I made a few metalic details - ventilation domes, assortment of tool boxes and prototype hook (this one has incorects proportions so I'll make a new, upgraded version soon):

Image

I also painted the bottom of the hull and installed the wheel caps:

Image

Now I'm struggling to fit all the goddamn cables inside the hull. I must say it's a real challenge - T-34 in 1:16 is so small...

Hi,
i have a few more photos for you. First the driver's hatch:

Image

It's not perfect, but close enough I hope :) I still have to make imitation of cast surface - it will give me an opportunity to cover the imperfections. Fitted on the glacis plate it looks like that:

Image

Next is a finished turret rotation mechanism:

Image

And a few fuel cans:

Image

And last but not least I fitted all the necessary cables into the hull:

Image

And made a test run:
