T55

 

 

 

 

Carefull cleaning up 

 

 

Battub ready, time for details.
The black glue is cy glue from AK with rubber particles. Should be a kind of flexible. It glues well and you can see where the glue is. (Also on the fingers ??. 

Fenders done. Quite a job, getting the fuelpipes from the sprues. But I managed  

Ready, onwards with the cupola 

 

Cupola build 

Primered (AK 3rd gen) 

Preshaded 

Base Russian Green  

At last, tracks ready 

The scenario, T-55 accidentally in West-Germany near Berlin.
Berlin Police is at the scene. They wear the 1947 uniform with black tschako.
Grandad tells his story, while grandmum amuses herself with the Russians.
Policecar blocks the way 

German Moor 

For the dio 

Coneheads, I have to scratch the black tschakos  

 

 

Working on the Beetle now, still waiting for the tank tracks.
The tschakos (the black policehat)as good as finished. still no idea how to make the policestern on the hat. 

Figures primered, the heads of the tank crew and policemen are Hornet 

So, final verdict. It will be the Käfer 1200 from Aitfix, with Rightsteering dashboard, which I displeced with an European one with policeradio.
I cut the door open, as I want to let it look like a quickly left car 

 

Trumpeter workable tracks. A lot of cutting loose and cleaning up 

 

Tracks are on, sprayed the whole tank with a matt cote 

How small a beetle looks besides it 

Sprayed the fenders white, the figures black and then zenithal white from above
