Here is some I have recently completed after being sat in a box part done for a long time, and some new built also. All are 1/72nd scale.
Cheers,
Chris.

Is that a Centurion hiding behind that applique armour ?

Hya Chris, it is a JS-3 with a home made brass rod barrel. I want to do another one of these at some stage as they are a good tank to change bits around on.

Right. Shows how the extra armour confused me. I would never have guessed that was the old JS.3 hiding behind it

It does look a lot different doesn't it, I got my inspiration from the T-55 enigma's and did my own interpretation of one.The kit is the Trumpeter one, as the airfix ones, which I have also built a couple of and changed, are a lot smaller physically being 1/76th. I thought I would try and make them into a completely different tank, so put a T-62 turret on one and stuck ERA bricks all over it, and applique armoured side skirts.

Ah. I've built the Trumpeter one. Built it as a Sassanian tank which was opposed to Rad's Imperial Roman Sherman at some Nationals a few years ago. Had a Sassanian cataphract officer as its commander.

It certainly works well

Thankyou for the compliments fellas, apart from fiddly track parts, I do like building armour, and they are easier to display and store compared to the flying stuff.

That camo looks fantastic, especially for 1/72 kits! Great work!
