Scale Model Addict's BIG SPRING CONTEST

by Kasper Fischer

All the entries for the Big Spring contest at SMA has finally been posted. The voting booth is not open for business yet but I suspect it will be very soon. The contest really has some amazing pieces of work among the models and if you haven't already looked through all the different threads in the forum and seen some of the builds, I think you should head over to scalemodeladdict.com and check out all the final entries for yourself.

Beautiful models and a lot of diversity.

Dragon T-34/76 "Krasnoe Sormovo"

by Hamilkar Barkas


The kit is from Dragon (#6479) and belongs to the Smart Kit series, although it looks more like it is an old kit with some additional parts, so the term Smart Kit is not right in this case. Anyway, the quality of the kit is superb and the kit itself is quite beneficial. I had no problems to assemble the model, just a tiny amount of filler was needed on the gun mantlet.




The base-colour of the tank is a mixture of Revell Aqua Color 39 and 65. To depict a used paintwork on the tank i applied MIG dark wash and several sessions of drybrushing with a light base-colour. Some subtle chipping rounded off the work. The mud was done with a mixture of earth, white glue and MIG pigments.

I hope you like the finished model :)
