MiniArt 1/35 T54-2 with interior

That’s coming along awesomely Rob!!! [Y]

In case you need some refernce video, Battlefield Vegas has a Restoration channel on YouTube wher ethey show the insides of their Soviet armor, which is a growing collection.

I cannot attest to how valid their color selections are for bare metal up restorations, especially since they have a mix of Czech, Polish, and Hungarian vehicles in the shop.

Wow,that interior looks great.

I agree, the interior does look amazing. Keep it coming.

thanks all… so this is how she stands now… just need to complete the second run of tracks then find to paint the interior…

Oh yeah! Like my T-44 that’s a boatload of parts!

This looks super good. How much of the interior will be visible at the end?

It is coming out great. Good job so far.

That depends on how you display it.

for mine, I will leave the turret roof loose, may have the engine hatches posed open, drivers hatch open and my leave the hull roof loose. Then I can show the interior but “save space” on shelves by having it together most of the time… for others (have 2 more full interior kits) O may try something with plastic rod to have it permanently open

I seem to have missed this up to now, Rob - sorry I’m late! It looks like a very involved build, but it’s looking very good. I admire your grit in taking on all that track-bashing, too, nice work!

This is really looking good.

Turret interior parts all added apart from the sight mechanism… Need to weather it of course. Not happy at all with the rear ammo rack but dont think you will see much once the upper half is on (leaving the roof removable

Coming along very nicely Rob! [Y]

thanks… quite a bit of progress this weekend. Turret interior weathered, upper turret added to lower (leaving roof off to see “some” detail… dont know if I will get any more done before the Christmas break (lose modelling area for all of December) but next is the second run of tracks… also included some better shots of the hull interior

Love the interior!

most likely the last build session of the year sees me end with this (plus both track runs)… new year should see the final details added then time for painting (aim next year is to (1) clean my airbrushes and (2) get more proficient at using my airbrushes)…

Good stopping point. The exterior looks as good as the interior. [Y]

a breakthrough… imagine if you thin paint it sprays better… who’d have thunk it… ammo 4bo thinned 50:50 with ammo transparator… can even see some of the highlight!!!

Looks cool to me! Nice work!

Excellent work Rob.
