ok guys. I can’t afford the new t-55 and t-62 from tamiya and trumpeter respectively.

Just have trumpeter T-55 and old tamiya T-62…so with no PE either I was thinking of adding some fuel lines to make them more worthy in my collection LOL

My Questions…

  1. Any links to DETAILED shots of these lines on actual tanks or others’ models?
  2. Are the lines arranged identically on both these tanks.??
  3. What materials BEST to make the lines?
  4. How to simulate weld joints at the connections?

THANKS IN ADVANCE…[ht]

Going over a ton of photos I came up with this pattern for the 55. Dunno if the 62 is the same.

I just used stiff wire with a small piece of the insulation on it for the rubber connecting hoses on my T-62…
