T-34/85 Model Building - Revell 1/35 - Part 1 

Thanks :) Good luck and fun with your kit! What kind of T-34 variant are you planning to build?

Me too. It is always satisfying to do

Nice to hear. What are you making?

@@dreamzzscalemodelling I’m currently making blankets and tarps the Tamyia Panther G 1:35 scale😃

Thats a nice tank. Good luck!

@@dreamzzscalemodelling yes indeed. Thanks!👍

Thank you!

Thank you very much! Happy to hear that about my english skills. Best greetings back!

Yes the kit is from ICM and only reselled under the Revell name

What kind of pallets do you want to attach?

⁠@@dreamzzscalemodelling4 part pallet. Not a small plastic pallets. Its like a lastic. If i stick one point, other point blowing up.

I would either try super glue with an accelerator or gluing one side first, letting it dry completly, and then the other side and holding everything in place with clamps if you have

@@dreamzzscalemodelling thanks

Which parts of the tank did you take a look at for identification? I tried to look for info about those parts left and right next to the gun mantlet. Apparently these were from the model 1944 or 1945. But its not that easy to find a good source

@@dreamzzscalemodelling look for machinegun mantlet on front plate. Post war tank, polish made 1950-1955 and Czech have around mantlet a ring for securing machinegun when tank crossing deeper river. They use waterproof material and mount on this ring. The same rings are on double fan on tower for the same reasons. War time t34 85 dont have those rings. Im not sure You have or not because scale is small.

Thanks for the clarification. Its interesting that these post-war parts are included in a kit that to my knowledge is only sold as a ww2 tank from both revell and icm in the past

@@dreamzzscalemodelling if You are interesting there is video with t34 1954 Czech made, from local private muzeum in Poland, ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Lcw0w3GVuAA.html

@@dreamzzscalemodelling Great job.Thankyou for sharing. I especially liked the putty for the casting. In response to other comments, I don't see a post war T-34 here. I don't see the ring on the hull machine gun mantlet on this kit.This is very pronounced when it is present. Post war t-34's built, czech ones especially, had a much smoother finish, which isn't on this kit's turret even before you added texture. The commanders cupola has split hatches which is a 1944 build. 1945 hatches have one larger hatch. Those parts to the left and right of the mantlet are how certain factories built the turret. Other factories did it differently, so this wouldn't make it wrong.I think it's been correctly marketed as a wartime built T-34/85. I think your t-34 is crying out for some mesh to replace the molded on part over the cooling vents at the back! This would make it even better. If you were also inclined, the molded on 'upside down u' handles on the hull could be replaced before you started painting! However it looks great as it is and I'm looking forward to the next video to see how it turns out .

Kann dir zustimmen. Habe von dem Bausatz auch nicht viel erwartet da er glaube ich auch nur 20 oder 25 Euro gekostet hat. Revell ist auch definitv an Einsteiger gerichtet was die Details und die Genauigkeit angeht und grade die älteren Sets sind teilweise einfach nur schlecht. Wobei in diesem Fall nicht Revell sondern ICM dran "schuld" ist, da der Bausatz von denen übernommen wurde und nur im Revell Karton verkauft wird. Beste grüße zurück!

@@dreamzzscalemodelling Jop.Trotzdem gutes Bauvideo.Liebe Grüße aus Thüringen!
