Armortek

Excellent work. Love all these details. Never liked the T34 but now I want one. Thanks for keeping us posted on this build. Great stuff.

Thank you John
Its a nice Tank to build and plenty to discover about it,I have
just bought the book that Dave recommended "T-34 in action"based on interviews
with tank crews,a quick flick through,looks as though it will be very interesting
like he said.
Cheers
Phil

HI Phil
thanks for your coment on the pz 4 did you miss my previous pos t about your gun barrel its on the bottom/last previous page allthe best.................nick

Hi Nick
Yes,sorry I missed that one posting
No I've got the Armortek recoil and flash options on order,I think its a couple of months
yet before they start coming out.
I've smoothed out the light machining marks on the barrel and primed up to where i think
it will slide,but it will be the last item that gets painted I think.
Are you having all the options on your Panzer 1V
Cheers
Phil

Thanks Adrian
Yes the Commander has got plenty of room,so might still see some of
the details when he is standing in there hopefully.

Have you got the crew yet ? The Russian tank figures seem to be pretty thin on the ground.

I wonder if Sym could develop a "Semaphore" torso for the poor old wireless-less commanders in our T34/76 models...

Adrian.

Hi Yes I bought my Crew before the kit came From Monkey-Depot.
I bought 2 of the Soviet Armored Crewman "Volodya Antonovich Bukayev" and a
naked figure with a mean head,some extra Tanker Helmets and some other heads,
so that they will be different.
I took a picture of my crew holding the Toe Cables when I made them,in the earlier
pages of the postings when the Hull was still Red Oxide.
Yes a working member of the crew using signal flags would look really good.
You would have to do your homework though to get the Code and the Russian right
Cheers
Phil
