Finnish T26 tank by Baker - FINISHED - Mirage - 1/72 - PLASTIC
Baker replied to Baker's topic in Non-ship/categorised builds
After some extra research I discovered that this is not a flame trower tank . But a Russian OT133 flame trower tank served as the basis for this tank. Info found on this website http://www.andreaslarka.net/ps164007/ps164007.html The photos on the website have copyright so I can't show them here. Made new side pannels with vision slits The kits biggest errors are fixed. Now the real assembly can begin. -

I know. I follow you with interest. 😉. Found (to late) that the driver hatches are not the same as in the kit. So a demolitian job. The improved version, hatches and others still to be placed Dry test with the turret -
My idea, without obligation Glue the platic port on a piece of plywood (or wood or thick plastic). Port and plywood must have the same dimensions You can then drill a hole in it where you can glue the cannon (drill the hole before gluing the port / plywood on the model. a sketch I used almost the same method Result

Baker replied to Baker's topic in Non-ship/categorised builds
Hooray Hooray The 5th and last one is ready. The build of these models started a long time ago, was stopped and forgotten. They were found again and are finally finished. All 5 ready and tagged like 5 ducks in a row 😉 It was probably great to go for a fun ride in the mud To everyone who followed this for following, comments and likes -

Finnish T26 tank by Baker - FINISHED - Mirage - 1/72 - PLASTIC
Baker replied to Baker's topic in Non-ship/categorised builds
Most tanks are not made for tall people. But on the T26 the 3 crew members each had their hatch for access. And quite a bit of space compared to some other tank designs. This Finnish version had 4 crew members (an extra member for the flame trower) and this 4th member did not have its own hatch. So in case of emergency ... not so good for him. -
Next build is a Russian T26 converted in Finland. This kit has been in my possession for a long time. The idea was to merge this build with the T26 observation tank (top of the picture).. But the build is too different, that's why they come in 2 build logs. The kit and the plan. The basic error with this model is that the turret is on the wrong side of the hull (Not Mirage's habit, usually their kits are flawless) This is also why the build of this kit has always been delayed for so long. And I once had the chance to see this tank during a visit to the Parola tank museum in Finland Where I also was the proud owner of a Stug III (for a short time 😉) a Panzer IV And even a T72 Ps, I was 7 years younger then... And If you have the opportunity to go to Finland. Definitely go to Parola (it's worth the effort) Build is started, pictures in next post.

Thanks for comments ( and likes) much appreciated 👍. Next is the ambulance. I don't think there was a standard version of this. Most seem to be field conversions and no 2 look alike. So a use a photo as an example, with some free style additions. Base vehicle with 2 stretchers Painted and ready And a Ford Fordor de luxe 1942 Thanks for folowing -

About the NRG
If you enjoy building ship models that are historically accurate as well as beautiful, then The Nautical Research Guild (NRG) is just right for you.
The Guild is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to “Advance Ship Modeling Through Research”. We provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model ships.
The Nautical Research Guild has published our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, since 1955. The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build. The Journal is available in both print and digital editions. Go to the NRG web site (www.thenrg.org) to download a complimentary digital copy of the Journal. The NRG also publishes plan sets, books and compilations of back issues of the Journal and the former Ships in Scale and Model Ship Builder magazines.
