T-34 1943

This one's another one that has been in progress for some time.  It's the old and severely out-dated Tamiya kit that was begun more as a painting project than anything else.  I was trying some different effects with Vallejo acrylics. It's essentially just an old kit with some updated parts including an Eduard Zoom grill in back and some Tank Workshop (Tank Maker?) resin wheels that, as you can probably tell, still is a long way from being completed. The figure is Verlinden with some minor modifications.  I scuplted his jacket below the belt line to make him sit higher in the cupola.
