Can I get a handicap for being clumsy ?

Here's my startin' picture!

Nice T-34! What scale is it?

[McCoy]

It's in 1:35 n' I'd say that it's surprizingly few parts for an modern Dragon kit.

Looks like a great kit McCoy, not very much styrene but a buttload of PE!!!

Me neither as I've hardly got any previous experience of PE, the only previous is engine grills n' sideskirts n' now it's small parts 'til the end of days. The main reason for the Aber kit is that the engine grills that comes with the kit doesnt fit in the kit. Strange how Dragon have messed it up. My previous resin experience is the zimmerit on my Tiger II n' here's a complete engine n' fighting compartment in resin. You could say that the difficulty scale have been upped a little for my part with this kit.

Best of luck to all with this build. The sheer range and types of models are staggering!

After some ideas and suggestions from my learned friends. The Halifax scheme will be more or less completely white with camo upper surfaces. The white extends to undercarriage and almost everything. I am going to try using a Tamiya spray can for the white. My plan is to build it, spray the whole thing white and then do the camo and detail work. Does this sound like a good plan?? Also, do you think I should do an undercoat to help the paint stick? I was thinking of light grey. Help and suggestions appreciated!!
