Looking great so far Rodolfo. About how long does a project like this take you?

Rodolfo, looks good [tup]

Great detail ! Nice job.

Have they made any improvements from their basic t-55 kit ?

Rudolfo very nice build please keep us posted

Very nice so far. Does the SKIF kit come with the interior?

Looks very good. Looks like a lot of work to make, but you are doing fantastic

Looking good. Look forward to see it finished.

Keep well.

Looking great. The details are a great touch. Look forward to seeing this one done for sure.

i am by no means an expert on tracked vehicles. but that is shaping up to be an excellent build in my opinion.

[:D] Hello friends:

Thanks for your kind comments!, regarding some questions:

  • Improvements: I added details with styrene and light golden metal leaf and adjust over the engine
  • About the SKIF model: includes interiors and some photoetched
  • Time in to build?, I don’t know too.

Ok, here more pics:

  • Detail of the support of the boxes (another side).

Nice work, Rodolfo.
I know from experience that SKIF kits aren’t the easiest to work with, but you’re doing a great job with this one!

Very nice progress. I"m considering purchasing the SKIF artillery complex, but I don’t know anything about them, and I’ve never built a single kit by them. Kinda pricey too, as I can’t find it anywhere but online.

[:D] Hello friends:

Thanks again for your comments!. So far, the kit is good, the only difference is that the plastic is some soft, but all ok!. SKIF is from Ukraine and this is my first work with it

Progressing nicely Rodolfo !!!

Please keep us posted with your progress.

Hey Rodolfo, have you built the Tamiya T-55 as well? Just curious to see if you could give us a comparison.

Inspired by your build, I’m thinking about building a Syrian T-72 for the Bekaa Valley fighting in 1982 sometime over the next few months, with the replacement turret from Blast, just to see how Blast’s stuff is. Thanks for the inspiration!

[:D] Hello friends:

Thanks agaiin for your kind comments!. Regarding to some questions, I have not constructed kit Tamiya yet, the Syrian T-72 is an excellent version, I hope to see your work soon!.

Here some pics:

Ready the oil cans, I perforated the rear hull for post supports of copper and added chains of accurate armor and I used copper and pieces of golden leaf as support and keys

Great stuff as usual. I have a funny feeling that the finished product is going to blow me away.

:smiley: Hello:

Thanks Larry, I am enjoying the kit too. Here more pics!

Ready the Turret inside (base).

Rodolfo
