Hello everyones!!
this is my T-54 model 1949
I started with Tamiya T-55 hull and Legend conversion,resin T-54 spider wheels, scratch built sprocket and idler wheels, driver's hatch and some other small details.
I added the MG hole in front of hull and some welding lines and repositioned tow cables.
The model is painted with Tamiya acylics colors.
I hope you like it!

Great work! Do you have any in-progress shots of the scratchbuilt sprockets and idler wheels?

Dario!

Very nice model! I like it a lot!

What Colors did you use? And is the groundwork all scratch or is there a Kit?

Thanks and best regards,
Andreas

Thanks guys!!

@VMIVince:i have only a few shots of scratch build phase of idler and sprocket wheels and both are typical features of original T-54 mod.1949








@Andreas:i used a mix of Tamiya green,like dark green and Nato green,without a specific quantities.To clear up panels and superior surfaces i mixed base color with dark yellow and flat flesh
The ground is all scratch built with a fantastic material from italian company True-Earth(based near my home), called Struttura Pack. It is very easy to use for a lot of works

I hope this help you!
