Re: new tanker
Welcome to the Forum. Your Mancave betrays all the classical signs of modelling mania, and the battered and bruised T34 just confirms it. We will look forward to the T34s progress in pics, as well as the fleet of additions that will almost certainly follow on from it.

Re: new tanker
Off to a great start, you've done a fantastic job with the battle damage and streaking/weathering.
The Heng Long T-34's a pretty damn good runner straight out of the box, and it looks the part too. The only problem it has is that the road wheels sit too low; ideally, the tops of the idler, road wheels and sprockets should be in a more or less straight line.

why thank you very much carlc.rainford73 wrote:I enjoy ordering from Dave for my Taigen upgrades. His website is much easier to navigate IMHO. His prices are very competitive and I'm many cases less expensive than some US vendors. ( even if the VAT was added). His shipping prices are exceptional too.
He is very responsive and although I'm here in the states I get my orders just as quickly as the US suppliers.
Dave is the best

Re: new tanker
With a piece of sprue from a Stuka it seems to be at about the right height. I think.

Re: new tanker
Here's a working T34/85 that came to visit the Highlands last May. It even fired the cannon, and deafened all the local seagulls....
Here's one I snapped in the Swiss Military Museum back in 2016. Getting full profile shots is not always easy, unfortunately... They may help a bit..if only with a bit of image variety

Re: new tanker
Hmmm. What about drilling different holes for the spring. You would still have room for droop then.

Re: new tanker
Much better. Drilled a hole staight across from the top hole. Next question. Will the slack cause an issue running?
