Genuinely though, the vibe is hard to beat

After MANY tribulations, we're finally done and dusted with the syrian (actually russian in syria) T-72BM "ceci n'est pas un T-80".

I scratchbuilt the rubber flaps on the turret with bits off of a soda can, the tarps are made out of tamiya epoxy putty. The flaps are there as a field modification, rather than something that would be installed in the factory. Looks an awful lot like a T-80 :)

It was my first decent attempt at paint distressing and i like it! I went for a gritty finish with layers of grime and dirt, all achieved with oils and VMS oil expert. I quite like the result for a braille scale tank. I built this for two upcoming shows' Master category for 1:72 armor. I'll add a base whenever i feel like it. Onto the next one!

Hi! After months of tribulations, scribing, welding, texturing, gluing and debonding, here's my Dragon panther D with some slight bits of aftermarket. It's a shame that all of this work will be covered with paint, but it's only a gateway to further enhancements and i hope i can make all of the elements pop.

The 3D printed parts are from Cults3D. I'll hopefully paint it soon enough! I'm making this for a group build as well as some upcoming shows here in italy. I hope you guys like it!

Hello there,

I'm currently building a Panther and i treated myself to a nice set of Friulmodel metal tracks.

As far as I'm aware, the Panther had two different tracks because of the way the track pins were inserted, but in my set despite being packaged in two individual bags, the links appear to be all identical, with both lenghts being pinned from the same side. The chevron pattern is also identical on all links.

What do i do with them? What is the correct orientation?

TIA

Quite amusing
