builder2000 Posted July 5, 2020 Share Posted July 5, 2020 My latest. Built OOB with some added stowage I made myself. Painted with SMS paints, mainly. Here is the full video build (took me longer to make this than the kit) with most things explained. Photos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike999 Posted July 23, 2020 Share Posted July 23, 2020 You did a great job on that old monster! It looks ready for a parade. Or the invasion of Prague. Some trivia about the Tamiya T-62: The kit was released back in the 1970's and had a lot of well-known errors, according to "Der Experten" armor builders. The biggest error: the turret is too low. So is the whole tank. Maybe because Tamiya measured a burnt-out/wrecked T-62 with a collapsed suspension. That didn't matter, since it was the ONLY 1/35 scale T-62 kit until 2009, when Trumpeter started releasing T-62 kits. Verlinden did a detail set for the Tamiya T-62, with a full engine/interior, photo-etched brass storage bins, and a whole new resin turret with interior parts. It was mastered by the expert modeler Charlie Pritchett. But the turret was a direct copy of the Tamiya part, so it was too low just like original! Another expert armor modeler, Jose Rodriguez, built his T-62 just like you did: out of the box with a few fixes. Here's his fun review of it. "...my wife would whack me on the back of the head if she were to know that I blew over $50.00 in a plastic tank." http://hyperscale.com/features/2002/t62jr_1.htm And here's a review of the Verlinden detail set (which cost more than the kit) https://butterfingeredmodelbuilder.wordpress.com/2016/12/08/tamiya-135-t-62-with-verlinden-damage-set/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
