Does anyone have a copy of the GB Badge? For some reason I do not have it, and it needs to be re uploaded on the thread.

my zvezda T-34/85 is done. it is egyptian '56 or '67.  some fit issues with rubber band track but other discussions warned me. the tracks are pinned down but after i added the upper hull so not as saggy as i would like. i made brackets for all the spare tracks. (for those non-tankers we tankers do not superglue our spare tracks to our tanks). i cut the ends off the tow cable and used picture hanging wire and made hooks.

the color is MMA british gulf war sand or something like that. i washed the top surfaces and aux fuel tanks with dirty white for contrast. the rear cylinders are smudged becayse they are smoke generators. overall dusting with dust powder which didn't show at all and darker dirt. the antenna is thin styrene but i will be using wire in the future.

the turret will not swing around tio the front without knocking off the engine cover grab rails but i will be putting my turret s in more unusual positions so that is fine.

it's a generic base i use for my warwheels so it doesn't quite fit.

The PT-76 looks great Ozzman, nice the mig but seems that fuselage needed some more cure before to paint :)

I didn't apply all of the stencils that came with the kit, but there was still about 70-80 of them. It took me about 6 hours.

Those look good, Ozzman; how long did it take to put on all of the stencil decals?  Looks like there were quite a few.   That big white cross makes for an excellent aiming point for air-delivered death... or for friendly recognition.

bsyamato,

I changed it to the Su-34. I will probably make a separate post for the finished gallery. That will happen closer to the deadline, though.

Sure you can join. Also, although the deadline ran out for this GB, I will extend it to December 31 2012. Also, if you finished building something and I did not add it to finished list, please let me know. I just started modeling a few weeks ago after a long hiatus.

That's sharp!  In some photos it looks to be 1/48 or larger, so it's hard to believe that truck is 1/72.  I guess that Russian trucks just look bigger and sturdier than others.

Sorry to point it out, but you've got a fingerprint in the paint on the frame above the driver's door.  I wouldn't have noticed it except that the red fire extinguisher leads your eye to that area...
