Iraqi Type 69-II

To me the build went pretty smoth, but like I mentioned it was my very first armor build. So I don't really have any complaints on it. But if I do recall, there was a little extra flash here and there, but not enough tocomplain about.

I have to give credit where credit is due.

Thanks Scron for getting me into this addiction..lol

But really if you hadent been there to help me with pointers here and there it would not have come out the way it did. Thanks

BTW, If you did't notice Scorn and Myself work on the models side by side,kinda. We set up an old dinning room table in his garage, that is where most of the work takes place, but here recently it now looks more like a maze, with all the extra storage shelfs that we have around and about.

Till the next set of picks, everyone have fun with all your armor's and keep the tips coming in.

Les aka Mourningstar

Looks great

I am building the Trumpter Ti-67, which is basically their T-55 kit. Other than the usual Trumpter issues, lots of ejection marks, mold lines, thick sprue gates it is going together very well. It is no Tamiya, but nothing a little sandpaper and filler can't fix.

So how was the build. Was it any trouble?

Nice job!! Looks used and abused.

This is Mourningstar, I'm on Scorns computer, that perticular model is the Hobby Craft T-55, we went on a spendeng spree at the local Hobby lobby a while back and picked up somthing like 7-8 models, that was my very first armor model. Thanks for all the praises on it. Just to let you all know, the picks that i have up there now are not the finished picks. I still have a little more detailing to do too it,(stowage, dio and what not). but for know that is put on hold. I just couldent wait any longer and went ahead and sarted on my Dragon M-51 Isherman that will be riding upon the trailer for the Dragon Wagon.

Lizard your Dragon is just phenomonal, I really love all the extra detail that you put into it, but hte only thing that i noticed, you didn't sand down the mold seam lines on the tires. Other than that SUPERB JOB. I only hope that mine will look that good.

Well I'm off to take some picks of Scorn;s latest model. which also happens to be the Hobby Craft M1A1.

Send it to the M1 GB---wait no, it's to pretty for that kind of "fun"

I always wanted to build a T-55, which kit is that?

Looks very real.

Great job. I love the 'used and abused' look from service in the desert.

Very nice. I'm gonna have to post pics of my "Desert Dog" I'm working on. it's going to be an Iraqi Walker Bulldog. I'm starting a collection of Iraqi armor. i want some of those russian tanks but i'm a bit leary of the Hobby Craft/Trumpeter Russian kits. [Though i love my HC/Trump Challenger and both my Abrams.]

Nicely done.
Is this the trumpeter kit?

Very nice Moringingstar. Thanks for posting the pictures.

Nice job, other than the abrasion marks, only thing I could add would be maybe some weathering on the tracks to get themto fit in with the rest of the tank. Great job though.

Looks rugged and used. Nice job.

yeah i noticed that [:0]

Lovely!! Very nice weathering. One suggestion though: looks like there is a seam that you missed on the machinegun. Still, excellent overall and thanks for sharing the pics.

keep up the good work. i love that genre of armour. i have a real soft spot for soviet armour as it was converted all over the world. spewin' about the print though.

Mourningstar, Hey it's all good. Still a nice job.

Mourningstar, Nice Job Watch those thumb prints though
