A BT5

This kit by Zvedza is a little beauty!  Just seven parts that snap together.  Only issues are I haven't been able to get the turret to rotate and there was no real body cavity that I could stuff with lead - this really is a light tank!  Fast too!  Only took me three days to complete it.



Amazing bit of mechanics,
used for steering front wheels when running without tracks.

This photo taken without flash.

Just realised I missed a bit at the back of the turret underneath.

However it serves to show how it was painted.  Black undercoat, green top coat, dry brush of buff.

  1. That looks great Mark. Seven parts; that is my kind of kit!

    1. Thanks. I suppose there is a bit of delicacy with the gun barrels. That said, I did drop this model, and it being so light, it just floated down to the ground undamaged. Phew!
