This build is out of the box. Kit parts quality is nice.
However a bit I disslike the softness of Miniart's plastic.
You should take care cutting off the parts from sprues.

I think the problem with the crack at the back will be solved. And everything else looks great!
Kaip matau, gerai pasistūmėjai!

I found the same with the Miniart early panzer III's, definitely different plastic to Dragon and Tamiya but reckon they make fantastic kits.

Progress pictures added. Mainly work was done with turret creating cast texture and welding seams.

The turret looks real. The casting texture produced very well, the turret looks really impressive! Interesting to see painted.

A work continuous. Today with PE parts and some copper wire.

Some update. Been working on welding seams on the hull.
As well created the cast number on the turret.
This kit has no towing cable , thus has used one from Eureka. As well did the most time consuming work - has cleaned tracks!

A work continues. Added more PE parts and preparing for painting work.

New update of work done. Have decided to try to paint as tank would be still in the factory during assembly. Used various metallic from Tamiya and AMMO MIG.

A new update. With green hull and turret as it would be in the production.

t-34 are always a good solution- a lot of possible options.... following!

Turret in green and decals in place. Used aftermarket decals. It turned out that a third pair of tactical number is missing. So I hand painted the number on the back of turret. Enjoy! p.s. Name on the turret is a Russian city name UFA. A donated tank to the front.

The work continues. The weathering of turret. Some oils, some filters and washes.

Ammo box added on the tank. And some ... footprint on top of engine compartment.

That's the way a T-34 should look like. Now, he deserves a little vignette. 🙂

Thanks Rui, Simon and rest! Indeed good kit and the decent T-34 comes out of it. Give it a try!
