Revell (ex.Matchbox) 1/72 Sherman M4A1 (by Viktor Gorelov)

 

Hello,

Viktor prefers to build mostly WW'2 era Russian tanks. This time he made a Sherman tank. 

The spills on the stars added reality to the texture of the model. Well done Victor…

Erhan...

Info: This was one of Revell's earliest kits, first released by Matchbox, and then later Monogram, and finally Revell AG. All of the kits are identical, except for the decals.

Kerem completed the M35 kit very well. Very nice additions, congrats mate..

Hello dear modeller,

It all started with a photo . This photo about Israeli Diamond T tank transporter removing Syrian T-54 or T-55 from the Ramat Ha Golan front after Yom Kippur war. (The reference about the photo is from Robert Manasherob)

I have published the construction stages of the project before...

Today is the final day of the project.. It is a very special work, I guess there is no similar one.

Congratulations..

Israeli Diamond T tank transporter from 1/76 Matchbox M-19 (by Burak Özdil)

Hello dear friends,

A new story from Burak Özdil.

Burak aims to revive the photo below. This photo about Israeli Diamond T tank transporter removing Syrian T-54 or T-55 from the Ramat Ha Golan front after Yom Kippur war. (The reference about the photo is from Robert Manasherob)

The M19 Tank Transporter was a heavy tank transporter system used in WW II  and into the 1950s. It consisted of a 12-ton 6x4 M20 Diamond T Model 980 truck and companion 12-wheel M9 trailer.

It is impossible to find an Diamond or M19 transporter at a scale of 1/72 .. But maybe it could be a 1/76 Matchbox .. We'll see ..

Providing the M19 kit was a problem. However, he was able to find a complete kit.

He started to disassemble...

detailing..

Compare 1/76 Matchbox T-19 wheel with IBG 1/72 Diamond wheel. Continue with the Matchbox wheel..

Continue to detail the old pattern..

headlights ....

test fitting .. We will also explain the T-55 kit..

side mirrors..

weathering..
