I just signed up. I am thinking of doing a t-26 mod 1935 as this seems to come with all the right markings. I will be doing OOB with just a metal barrel and maybe tracks if I can justify the expense of them.

Which one? I've been looking at the Hobby Boss kit.

In 1/35 there are two options: The old Zvezda/Italeri kit and the newer Hobbyboss ones, neither is perfect or can be built without some modifications except for:
Soviet T-26 Light Infantry Tank Mod.1936/1937 83810
That can be built both as Republican and Nationalist with almost no extra work...

Paul

Yay I figured out imgur only took 3 attempts

OK Paul, we're working on the same kit. I've gotten as far as locating the kit in the pile and getting it ready.

Are you going to use the kit tracks for yours or an AM set?

Not sure the plastic ones look pretty good but the metal ones will look heavier if you know what I mean, I do have a Mig or Ammo pre rusted chain somewhere for it to.

Which markings you doing?

Probably Nationalist but I'm not sure yet. The kit has both the Republican & Nationalist marking and I like both sets. I'm thinking of doing the Zvezda BT-5 (if I can find it in the clutter) with SCW markings. These will have to be cobbled up and that probably means Republican.

Pre rusted chain is new to me. Are they nicer than just using the track fluid?
