David: Sharp work! Always liked the looks of the BT series, seems they captured the 'sports car' look J. Walter Christie wanted to bring to the tank world. And you've done a great job on her!

Very Nice!

    Only thing that looks out of place is the lack of any screening in those vacant deck intakes.... ....wouldn't take much.

I did a BT7 a few years ago.

Can't build a clean tank to save my life

David, glad you got her done. Love the PE grills.

It might be me, but the straps are begging to tie something down. 

I used Model Masters enamel European Dark Green # 1764, over a black primer.  Then mixed a lighter 50:50 mix of White and Euro Dark Green with 50% thinner and painted centers of panels.  I also did some dry brushing with Pale Green on the bolts, edges and details to make them pop out.  At first I thought it was a little too dark of a green but it started to grow on me.

Wow, very well done overall.

What color do you use for WWII russian armor?

There's just enough of everything to make this a pleasing looking model to look at !

Well done .

Yes, the tracks are from the kit.

Yes, the PE really set it off and the tracks look great. Are they box kit stock?

Well, I got this one done. Wish I did something different with the headlights but by the time I thought of something I already had them in and I didn't want to mess with trying to fix it. I'm very pleased with how the PE turned out though and the tracks were pretty simple to assemble.

I like those grills. 

Nice to see this one come back to the front of the line, looking good!

Here are some more updates.  Here I am taking the Exhaust off to replace with PE.

Keep at it David.

More updates, the front suspension had a gap on both sides so after gluing I filled in with squadron putty mixed with Testors liquid cement and sanded down.  Eduard parts and RB barrel are inbound, should get them within the next week. :)

Thanks, I'll keep that in mind!

The indy links on this kit are an insanely tight fit.Use a good liquid cement and they will soften up right away with no further trouble.

Off to a good start! Always neat to see the pre-war/early war designs get their due.

David it looks like a fun build. I wonder how these build up? Are they better then Eastern Express?

I still need an early Russian armor such as a BT-5 or BT-7.

David

Look forward to the progress of this build as I have been thinking of adding one one these to my collection.
