Tank Interiors
Posted by Vartan041 on Monday, February 27, 2006 10:08 PM
I'm dying to try scratch-building an interior. However, most of the armor in action or walkarounds do not show interiors. I'm sure this info is out there somewhere. Can anyone offer any suggestions or info?

Vartan041, There are photos. I'm sure someone in here can help you find them. What tank(s) are you interested in building?

Vartan041;

If you can provide some more information as to which tank you would like to depict it would help to narrow the scope.

If you want just general information on "How-To" the source is the Sheperd Paine book below.

 

This book has all the information on how to build an interior to get you started.

Cheers;

Gregory

As of this moment it would be the T34/76 1943. However, I noticed in my squadron catalog a set of books from Osprey that advertises interiors. Does anyone own one of these books? How much is dedicated to interior drawings/photos?

Thanks for the Shep Paine tip...never heard of that one before. Is it still in print?

Vartan041;

I just checked with Kalmbach Publishing here on the SHOP FSM link, unfortunately No it is not in print.

However I did find these on eBay.com for you.

Item number 4616194916

Item number 6039676439

Item number 6040239960

If you have the means to pick either one of these three I would highly suggest you do, the book is great. I would buy this as primary book for detailing interiors on your current and future projects.

As far as the Osprey books are concerned, they too are fantastic for the individual treatment of each subject. I would buy this as a secondary book, but as a specific reference for the project you are working on now.

Cheers;

Gregory

Ahhhh comrade....you simply weren't looking in the proper place!! Wink [;)]

Check this website out...

http://www.thetankmaster.com/

In it, you will find all sorts of photos of T-34s, including interior shots, and even shots of vehicles recently uncovered.

I used this site on my T-34/85 build (Jan. 06 FSM)

Thanks for the info gburden...I think I'll go with the Osprey.  I saw your ebay links but I have to put some cash into the paypal account before making a serious bid.

Spasiba Tovarish Herne (Thank you comrade Herne:-) ) There's definitely some great pix at that site...consider it bookmarked.

Comrade Herne!  I saw your January FSM article, which is going to be bad news for you, because I'm going to keep chewing your modems ears about T 34's Smile [:)]  BTW, how familiar are you with the small rear mounted fuel tank?
