Trumpeter 1/35 Polish PT-76 Light Tank

[Modelcrazy]

I completed the Trumpeter 1/35 Polish PT-76 Light Tank.



This was a nice kit with a little bit of PE. I got this kit from a toy store that was clearing out their plastics and I scored it for $8.00. My only complaint with the kit is the instructions. They missed a couple parts placement and a little research is needed to find out what you missed. Other than that, it went together well with very few seems. The turret also does not lock down but since I glued mine in place that wasn't a problem.

Since the tank was amphibious, I'm showing it fording a muddy river. I couldn't get the jet spray to look right so I left them off. So now it's fording not swimming







Armor and water. Almost as good as ships and water LOL.

I saw this late last night but I wanted to be alert when I wrote about how incredibly well executed the relationships between the tank, water, water movement and base dimensions are. I was excited to see that you sited the tank realistically in the stream. Exquisite qualities of design!

Thank you so much Speedgarflex, that means a lot and encourages me to continue to do better.

Magnificent work man! What a sensational job making that tank fording a stream. That looks so realistic.
