Hello Phil, that's one war weary T34....just gets better and better.
Already looking like a 'Show' winner.
Best wishes....Mick.

Thanks Mick
Have you done any more work on your Comet and is it still in the warm
on your dining room table? :)
Cheers
Phil

Hi Phil

Looking great! Will take on those big cats, with ease. 8)
I'm glad I've been allowed to build in the house, my pottery workshop is too cold.
How will you get it off your bench?
Back to the decorating (the price extracted from me, to build in the house) , should be finished today, so I can back to some serious tank building! :lol:

It's been great following your build.
Regards
John wiggins

Hello again,Phil, yes the Comet is nestling behind the settee, well camouflaged, waiting to pounce on an unsuspecting Tiger :D .
I resprayed the front where I added the welds...and checked the batteries....my Accumate comes in handy.
It gave me an excuse to fire up the sound system.....don't you just love that main gun...boommmm........

Hello John, I use the spare bedroom to build in....so much warmer than the garage.

I have to whisper this.....I purchased the Tamiya Jagdpanther Full Option Kit....something to build over the Winter while I save my pennies for the next Armortek tank.....do not reveal this.

Keep the photo's coming Phil/John.....best wishes....Mick

Thanks very much John and derek :D
I put the T34 on the bench in my spare bed room when it started to get too heavy
for comfort and ready for the winter and darker nights.
My son helped me lift it off to put the Tracks on and I will have to book him
again when Its all ready to run.
Cheers
Phil

I think there were a fair few T34-76 Kits sold,so its a shame there are no builds
