Right on about drilling the barrels, looks tiny but adds so much realism, I always drill my 15 mm solid barrels.

HERB!!! The fuel tanks/drums have a cap which should be on TOP ! You my friend put them on the SIDE! All your fuel will poor out when your comrades open them. I built this model years ago.

Comrades will prevent fuel spillage despite incompetently placed caps. Otherwise gulag.

Now - about 3 years after this video was uploaded - I wonder if the turret is still on the hull or did it go to the T-34 heaven?

This is only increasing my temptation to make T34s again...

Impressive and beautiful model!

Great video nice to see bolt action models been build😀

Really nice kit. I got one with the soviet starter army but I'm a dummy and glued the wee locking bit with the turret so its fixed to the hull while too excited to buid my new tank. Worked out alright though. Also I forgot how good that Rubicon T34 is painted. Great job pal.

Nice job dude I can see your strong standard of construction is prevalent in this model

Wow plastic is in the box

Ernie Kat I envy you :( Generally i dont know a single game event in my country and no shipment nor shops for it either :/ Few from Italeri, and thats it. Generally 1: 100 Zvezda+ general kits (not even modern 1:72 Trumpeter or Dragon)

@@StalkeraBg Man, maybe can visit shops overseas? Model kits like these are also quite niche in my country, I managed to snag this kit from a warhammer shop I found a couple years back

Herbert, I have an off topic question I hope you can help with. I am planning on getting back into mini's painting. Close to retirement and I want a hobby other than working. Plan is not to collect for gaming but for display. I have a large number of 6th scale WWII firearms on one shelf and was thinking about possibly putting WWII vehicles on the shelf above them firearms. But I am not sure if it is best to go with 72nd scale or the 56th scale. I don't want 35th scale, way to large for my area, plus I want a collection of different vehicles. For example a full collection of SdKfz251's in all their variants. What is your opinion? 72 or 56 scale??

If you're just going to display them I think 1:72 is a better choice. If only because there's a lot more variety of models available and more manufacturers making them. The detail will also likely be a bit better if the kits aren't designed with gaming and frequent handling in mind like 1:56 stuff often is.

@@HerbertErpaderp I had considered 72 scale but finding a regular supply seems rather difficult. I can go on the net and easily find a single source for 56 scale but 72 wow it is all over the map. PLUS I was thinking of going into figures as well. I am still not sure which route to go yet BUT thanks for the input and the videos.

Personally I do favour the Rubicon T-34. The engine deck detail is much better. And it's likely you'll be staring at it allot. But these are fine for a quick throw together.

yaaaay more BA tanks!

I'd love to see more painting and battle reports. Keep it up

Truthfully, I'm not very impressed with this kit in 28mm. Years ao I used to use 1/48 scale vehicles with 25mm figures. They were a great match. Bandai was making some 1/48 scale armor and the detail was awesome. They even had interiors. This highlights the difference between gaming models and true scale models. This has a lot of glossed over details and overly large panel lines. Unfortunately, I don't think there's a modelling equivalent to 28mm. I'd prefer to use those in this scale if I had a choice. Thanks for showing us Herb.

Plastic surgery. hehehe. Needs more log.
