T34/122 1/48 tank finished

General Zod · June 13, 2009, 03:25:58 PM

Used the angle jointed Hobby Boss T34/85 for a Battle of Berlin scenario The 122mm barrel is a 3.5mm round metal stock The screens for anti panzerfaust are home made I used Tamiya dark green lightened up with some field gray Now for the weathering

Really wicked looking with that larger gun tube and the RPG screens. Is it supposed to be a 122mm howitzer or a short tube 122mm gun?

Thanks Jeff

It's supposed to be a 122mm howitzer The real barrel was just over 9 feet long

Nice work on the screens and the barrel.

If you hadn't have said I would have thought they were kit parts or aftermarket!

Wow, that's a beauty, Chad ! She does look extra tough with the big gun and the screens. Could fool me that it's not a 35th scale job !

Killer from every angle, General! The screens are the cherry on top!

That is a cool looking T34 Is the main gun a 100mm? Very well done

Yes it is. Took it from a T-55 along with the road wheels and mud guards. The rocket grates are from a T-62. I don't remember from where all the other parts migrated from.

Some more pix I added turret numbers,and the air ID line on the turret

Brian da Basher · June 23, 2009, 01:12:02 PM

I really like your weathering, especially the rust and wear on the screens and the way you rendered the ID marking so it looks like whitewash applied in the field is an excellent detail, General!
