1/35 ICM T-28 (Part 2)

Hi guys.
Spent the last few days doing the etch and painting the interior. I have made a few modifications to the kit parts to facilitate the etch and most can be used. Only a few more pieces need done and I can commence spraying.
The interior has turned out OK and is mostly hidden so any mistakes won't be visible. I used various bits from the spares box to fill up the turrets and made my own pack of ciggerettes. Can you spot them?
Thanks

The etch set from Eduard was originally for the AER kit. The ICM model has very different dimensions and the etch does not fit very well. However, with some modifications, a lot of it can be fitted. I am almost ready to spray but must attach some final bits first.
I have pretty much finished the interior as well. It was painted white and then chipped with Vallejo Russian Green. This was then followed by various oil washes and pigments to create a dirty, used look. Posters and personal equipment were then applied to add interest. The figure is of an unknown make.

Hi guys,
I picked this kit up for £10 at the Kit Swap when I was at Telford. I had been wanting it for ages but never could seem to find one. I started today and was amazed at how good a kit it is! The parts fit perfectly and the detail is actually pretty good. The only problem I had was a tiny amount of warpage on one of the halves of the turret. This was easily fixed and building progressed smoothly until I realized the tracks supplied were for a different vehicle. I am going to get the Friulmodel track set as the tracks supplied were for a T-35. I may aslo purchase one or two metal barrels.  Anyway, two halves for two return rollers had not been cast onto the sprues so will probably have to be scratch built, ooohhhhh well. I suppose it was a second hand kit and was dirt cheap. :)
Within a few hours I had completed everything but the upper hull. I have modified a vision port on one of the smaller turrets to have posed open, just to make it look a little different. :)
I will hopefully be posting regular updates :) I am also doing this build simultaneously on Armorama, so if there has not been an update on here for a while, check Armorama. Also, if you wanted to post a comment or ask a question, Armorama would probably be the easiest place to do it. If you don't have an account, I highly recommend you get one as it is free and easy. The amount of amazing things you can see and learn is mind blowing! -

Update - 05.02.13


Hi guys,
Look what came in the post today from Hannants, the Eduard T-28 etch set and J.Rubio metal barrel. Hopefully progress will commence shortly, but I have a German test tomorrow so revision takes priority. :(
Also, a set of Friulmodel T-28 tracks should arrive within the next few days. Stay Tuned.
Thanks

I have began modifying one of the side panels to feature it open. I used metal wire for the latches and plasticard for the mechanism. I have also made an old fuel can from plasticard and plan on doing it shiny silver
