That kit looks really nice, I'll be getting one for sure. I'm sure I will also enjoy your build as always Dmytro! (If I don't blink and miss it, with the speed at which you build, LOL!)

Looking forward to this kit. Looks like the camo paint on the box top has changed some. Initially it had some track camo patterns between solid thunks of white. I was planning on going with that scene when I purchase the kit.

During the development of the kit it turned out that such winter camouflage corresponds to another modification of the tank. We will make such a modification later

I'll buy this kit for sure, because my grandma's uncle (he was only 10 years older than her ;-) ) fought in T-60 and T-70 and survived the war.

Looking forward to this....

I will replace the plastic barrel as I found a metal one from Elephant meant for the old RPM one.

Really nice progress Dmytro, I really am looking forward to getting this kit, I like the fact that you will be able to see everything (in the turret at least). The kits Miniart is putting out are fantastic!

Are you going to release other versions of this tank? I'm interested in a tank from factory nr 37. This one with spoked wheels, sloped turret's roof etc.
