After seeing all the heavy metal going into this GB I fancied a change so this will be my entry into the GB



Made a start on it tonight

If anyone has any references for the T34 especially from Kursk and interior colours they will be gratefully received

Nice start Lewis. Amazon have a special offer on the DVD for the Battle of Kursk, at around £7 IIRC, and I found quite a few good interior shots on various web pages.
I've worked with a operational T34/85, which I thought was basic, but the earlier version wree even more rudimentary! The very spartan interior was basically white overall, with the turret crew standing on the ammo boxes!
Sorry, I didn't take a note of the web-site pages, but there were quite a few, of varying degrees of 'usefulness'. I just Googled T34 and T34 at Kursk, as I was looking for the Model 1943.

Had a quick look and managed to find some good refs so I am good to go.

Nice one Lewis. Good to have some Russian armor in the build.

Great choice Lewis. Nice to see some Soviet armour in this Group Build.

Couple of progress pics. Engine consisting of no less than 23 separate parts, Gearbox a mere 9 and Fan together. Still have to dirty up the interior which I will be doing as I go as I won't be able to get in there once it is all together.

Managed to get a bit more done today, lots of very fiddly painting and washes to get the right amount of dirt and grime onto parts that won't be seen once it's all together.

Awesome!
