KSN Midori 1/76 T-54 tank vintage plastic kit

[@maxbrandt6]

You little T-54 project turned out just fine and I really don't mind these build videos on long outdated tank and sci kits. I like how you plug away at them and make the best of these kits long forgotten by modelers. I wouldn't mind taking a crack at some of these old 1/76 tanks kits, shame about the decals pulling up like that. I would have gone in with a fine tipped brush and just touch up the markings with paint, Vallejo Model Color is perfect for this. Greetings from the US and happy modeling!

When I built scale models as a kid, I seldom use a nail file. I'd usually remove excess plastic and parts off the sprues with a razor blade. I used to have cuts on my fingertips all the time. By the way, the DshK on that T-54 looks way better than the one that comes with the Lindberg/Atlantis IS-3 Stalin.

Ohhhhhh my thumb had plenty of sliced cuts when I was a kid and still happens to me now 30years later every so often.

It is interesting to hear how people would design scale models of subjects on the other side of the Iron Curtain from photos released as propaganda, this one is maybe not the best example of a T54/55, but there's a history there about what the people knew at the time. I wonder if some of these inaccurate models would make a good what if, think those paper panzers that video games come up with for WW2 tanks, or in some cases invent.
