Hello,

You should add different tracks to this model. This is the weakest part of the model and the tracks are visible in full. The metal tracks will ad a lot to this model.

Very nice!  I have to finish up mine.  The EE kits aren't really that bad and they build up nicely.  I finished their BA-6 earlier this year and my BT-7A just needs tracks and weathering (ugh!).

That looks great Van. The weathering of the vehicle from the fading to the chips are exceptional. Kudos all around.

Van, that's very nice!  Great work all around!  I hear those EE BT kits are supposed to be a bit of a dog to work on, but you did an excellent job on yours!  I love the paint job and weathering!  Beautiful winter vignette you set her in as well and nice camera work too!  Yes Yes

Originally this kit was made by EASTERN EXPRESS. I finished building this model last fall. Full set of photoetched from Eduard, Voyager metal fenders, AA machine gun from TANK and metal tracks was added. I did a lot of work with mud and snow...it give me good experience and  lot of satisfaction after I finished it.

For the base I use old wooden picture I find in loco second hand store for a $1. The snow is a combination of artificial snow I bought from hobby store and baking soda( on the grass, tree and concrete pool). Mud is made of MIG Acrylic resin mixed with pigments, sand etc. The snow inside the tank wheels is a mix of baking soda and future.
