Even though you said that you were still a learning modeller, I think that your kits and paint jobs are really nice. As a modeller in learning as well, I take a lot of inspiration from your videos and plan on using your soapy technique. Can't wait for more uploads from you!

[@Modkits131]

Thank you. You don’t know how much your support means to me, as I’m happy to help a person like you in this great hobby. :D

[@Modkits131]

Don’t worry for those of you who want to see some more tank models. I have some exciting detailed kits to show to you all in many different scales. :D

[@garyjust.johnson1436]

I just got one of these from hobby lobby for 40% off. I hope mine turns out as nice as yours!

[@MorrowindES17]

very nice build love brush painters thank you for showing how to use Vallejo surface primer with brush.

[@plastikpanzerfactory6733]

Been waiting to see what you were gonna do next. bringing life to this old kit, fantastic. Love it

[@SteveJonesScaleModellingSite]

Nice work with the hairy stick on this old classic. Great to see

[@aakashalam6232]

When I first saw the title I read it as T-34-76, I was confused as the tank was a T-34-85

[@Modkits131]

I could see why. Now that I read it😂

[@PanzermansBunker]

The Airfix kit includes 2 turrets. One is a model T34 76/43 turret. The other is a T34 85/44 turret.. Bill

[@joramamodellbau3987]

For the fact that the Airfix kits are not one of the very well detailed kits, you have managed to turn this simpler kit into a great model. Very good paintwork and weathering. Greetings, Joachim

What ya expect from vintage kit

[@Filiplego1]

I tried my first Vallejo model color, they feel and look beautiful! Better than enamel paints which is ironic since enamel paints have much longer drying time.

[@Modkits131]

That’s great to hear! Im glad your enjoying Vallejo paints as much as I am😁

[@thearmoredgeorgian2736]

You made the best of that large gap! Should I prime my kits with brush or spray when brush painting?

[@Modkits131]

It’s entirely up to you, if you see my T-62 video I brush paint on a “AK Black Primer” which is for both airbrush and brush painting. Spray Can primer is faster if you want to speed up the process. :)

[@thearmoredgeorgian2736]

@@Modkits131 thank you for the fast reply and answer! Just wanted to make sure I wasn’t going to do anything wrong after brush painting on spray paint

[@pumelo1]

You don't have to mix anything.🤣 Humbrol 86 is WW2 russian green😉

[@scalemodelmaker659]

I like watching you take a small, basic model and turn it into something interesting to look at. You have great skills!

[@Modkits131]

I’m flattered that you think I’m skilled, but thank you I really appreciate it. :D

[@RimsModels]

Excellent build there my friend really well painted and weathered stay safe 👍🙏

[@garyjust.johnson1436]

I built this with the larger turret, and put the smaller turret on a Hot Wheels Big Bertha tank, which always came with a badly deformed gun barrel anyways. Your build looks way cool with weathering! Super detail! Super cool!

[@johnkelley9877]

You did a great job of making an old kit look good. I like the mud effects and the overall weathering. Thanks for sharing this.

[@mvanrent]

Great job! Congratulations!

[@Womble-freestation66]

Another masterpiece on an old kit. Excellent work 👏👏

[@mattluszczak8095]

I love the music. Nice touch

[@nunocbnunocb5875]

Wonderful job

[@Emilystar1095]

I bought this kit, and honestly it's very good but I wish the tank wheels could move, but hey its more for diorama purposes.

[@Modkits131]

That would be nice if most kits gave us that option for movable suspension and tracks. Unfortunately it’s to be expected that the majority of these old kits won’t have it available.

[@Emilystar1095]

@@Modkits131 too true

[@jaradperales3974]

Khaki grey/flat green how many drops of each when mixing the base coat?!?! Thanks in advance

[@Modkits131]

1 drop khaki grey and 2 drops flat green. :)

[@PanzermansBunker]

Lots of great work done to this vintage kit. Weathering is outstanding. Bill

[@mp-modelplastic]

Excelent work,well done with good tips.

[@PanzerWaffe47]

Ужасно

[@timcruse9054]

Looks brilliant thank you for sharing

[@ScaleMilitaryModels]

Nice work! Next time, make sure to fill the gap on the turret roof!

[@Modkits131]

Don’t worry I will.😁 especially on more detailed kits.

[@dev1sko817]

Nice work 👏🏾👏🏾 i like it

[@joemoma8384]

Well done I was wondering if you can have a video showcasing all the builds you have done please ?

[@Modkits131]

In the future I plan on going through my builds but, I personally don’t think I have enough models to showcase yet. Thanks :D

[@nikogordon2]

Great video, keep it up

[@Modkits131]

Thanks man👍

[@nikogordon2]

@@Modkits131 quick question though, how do you get such crisp colour fade/modulation on your models? Ive watched your tutorial video about 5 times and i still just cant get it right...

[@Modkits131]

Thin layer after thin layer, or use the overbrushing technique that I’ve used on my T-55.
