Beutepanzer - German captured Russian T-34 tank (Tamiya  

These kits are great. They're cheap and you can really go to town in bringing them alive with added welds, cast marks, etc. I think they are better than more expensive kits, that all you are left to do is after market add-ons and painting and weathering.

I really love that bird and birch detail.

Nice work on the capcherd t-34/76

excellent color detail for the T-34

I agree about the 70s-90s Tamiya tank kits, they are fast to build, cheap and has enough details for the price yet most of them are easy to build.

A lovely tidy build my friend. Nice to see

i like the old panzer 2 tamiya kit built 4 of them now and they are a fun build

Great build, Thank you for sharing. Hope you have a good week.

A work of art

Super well done paint work and weathering.

Another nice build.It dont look cheap,after finish.

Nice paint and weathering job buddy . The bird looks cool to. Keep on the good work and model on buddy. Have a nice day :)

oldies but goldies, despite their old age they are very nice models, quick to build and without problems and in the end you still have a nice model!!

An excellent build! Tamiya kit is a good starting point for improving the modellers skill.. the only thing is those two tow lugs right on the nose.. they were added by the folks at APG because the engine was either inop or not in at all.. and used to tow the tank around...

Hey mate, i totally agree with you. These old tamiya kits might be a bit rough compared to the newer ones but still enjoyable to build and to practice techniques on. I built this kit recently and used it as a guinea pig for Mr Surfacer application 😊 Enjoy your videos and approach to the hobby, its about having fun and enjoying the process how you want to, not who is the best or historical accuracy. Most people who look at my models wouldn't have a clue whats right or wrong. Cheers and regards, dave

Really enjoyed this one 👍

Love these old Tamiya kits, fantastic work on the rubber band tracks and the unditching logs. Well done.

Nice build 👏👏

Awesome work! It looks awesome!

Turned out great! 😁

I always come back to Tamiya for a stress free build. Another idea for tarps is to use disposable optic wipes. I get mine in Lidl or Wilko. Perfect,to my eye, thickness and a good-sized for small to medium sized tarps etc.

The old Tamiya kits are still good today, I h ave just purchased their Pink Panther SAS Landrover, which harks back to the 70's, this build of yours came out perfectly, well done sir.

What a beutiful panzer my friend. I don’t like fighting this thing in War Thunder. But I love it in modeling form. Hope to see more beute panzer’s in the future.

Well done!

very cool subject!

This has come out super nice mate and a lovely little bit of story telling

*When i watch you used the vinyl tracks i think that it's an hard choice but once painted and weathered they are very good, excellent work MN!*

Nice work as always MN! I bought this kit last year and after studying the instructions, I discovered that you can build two versions (as you mentioned in your video). I couldn't decide which one to choose, so I simply picked up another kit and built both versions simultaneously! That really made me happy 😁I had so much trouble figuring out how exactly those square fuel tanks were fitted, and because the instructions were so vague on that part, I installed them incorrectly three times. I very nearly lost it but all is well now!

Great work, my only gripe is that the German Panzer arm had and still has the color pink not red.

Fantastic job!

I had the same problem like you had about the gap in the back.

Awesome build!!! Am actually building this very same kit (for the 3rd time) as a captured German vehicle, just like you did. Must admit, like your camo pattern better than what I did - placed green splotches outlined in red-brown over the vehicle. I used BOITH the rectangular fuel tanks and 1 of the round fuel tanks to try and make it look "German", as well as, adding some side skirts that I saw in a reference book - think it looks good. Anyway, the grass/leaves I will be trying out myself and never really thought about painting the un-ditching log to actually try and resemble an actual tree!!!! Will have to try that as well!! Also working on one of Tamiya's M4 Shermans as captured by the Germans and having fun placing olivgrun/rotbraun over a US Army olive drab - looks good as well. Yep - people complain about hese older/ancient Tamiya kits, but I like them.

Wow great job mate

Given the age of the kit, Tamiya actually got a lot right, and that counts for something. The overall level of detail and what you get is good. The T-34 is simple, but Tamiya does a nice job given the standards of the time. The overall dimensions of the chassis and upper hull armor plates are also not too bad although the angle of the hull sides is off by a degree or two, This isn't really obvious, visually. A bigger problem than something being off by 1 degree or 1 millimeter is the position of details on the hull and chassis, versus the proportions of the hull and chassis. The molded suspension arms are all in the wrong place, with the errors ranging from 1mm at the back to 5mm at the front. The upper engine deck detailing, including the fan cover, is skewed and stretched I noticed that the size and location of the driver's hatch are off, as is the machine gun housing.The kit tracks are poor in that they are short, tight and thin.

Здравствуйте, красивая работа) не хотите собрать Шерман от Менга или Erzatz M7 от Takom?)

🤝👍👏✊wery good modei

Hi MN, I like the options you chose and the additions you made. I'm a fan of captured tanks for the story they tell of their history of service: where they came from and what happened in the field. The leaves and grass convey this tale nicely. I like the touch with the bird. I think it adds action to the scene. Very nice, neat work. PS Are you considering doing another Helicopter? They are a different sort of build, interesting stuff. Just a thought. Anyway, see you soon
