First one :) ( yesss ). Made possible by the quick shipping from Stellamodels
The famous 88 was a real tank killer
Ball bearings already arrived from Walawala.
Fresh paint was ariving the day after, so .. quickly started building :)
Made a Late / Final version, so with installed flamekillers and crew heater
Radio gear of choice, Spektrum DX7 with a AR6100
Only thing not 'box art' is the camoflage job.
Russian colors, with european 'spots'
Not historical correct, but.. i like it ;)
And, it is my model lol, so .. i'll paint it as wished.
After the color, only little things done not as Mr. Tamiya inteded it
Installed a 2e towcable set, and the tools where weathered a bit to get the used look.
Same done to the tank in General, little weathering, i'll leave the rest of the damage to be done in a natural way: My bad driving :)

This was my first 1/35 Tamiya tank static model ever. I love the looks of it. Yours is ab-so-lu-te-ly fab!

The most famous of anti tank guns
The 88 was the most fearsome gun in WWII.

If I ever get a tank it will be this one for sure.
