What isn't evident from the photograph is just how lumpy the barrel's bore evacuator is. Something to fix in the future.
AAMG and Luna Infra-Red search light are sold as part of the T-62 tank model. The Luna light model features a spotlight that attached to the light's fixings, but wasn't always used from what I can tell, so I snipped it off and glued it in place on the commander's hatch.
Greenstuff modelling putty used to make the Loader's Hatch hinges (as the converted model's hatch, now, opens front-to-back) and the ventilation dome just under the Anti-Aircraft Machine Gun's ammunition box.

Nice work Roy!

The additions and changes that you have made are reasonably straightforward but they really transform the whole look of the model...excellent work Roy :)
Excellent work!
Great work
Thank you.
Hoping to get some work in on that lumpy bore evacuator today, now the greenstuff cured a bit, and address the fuel drums on the back. Those drums were the hardest part of the build, to be honest. Wouldn't sit in place properly, and hard to find contact points for gluing (until I filed down the surfaces).

Looks great!
Decided I didn't like how it was finished, so have painted another layer of paint to the tank miniature and the base, plus added some grass tufts (bl--ming back-most tuft wasn't glued properly and fell off when I was repositioning the miniature to photograph - stuck it back on, but only realised later on that is wasn't stuck back in the same place. Hence why it's in a slightly different place in the photos :-[ >:( )

Painted as belonging to the militia 'Army of Republika Srebvija' during the Bersovijian War of 1986 - 1992 (SFR Godoslavija). The national colours, 'hand-painted by the militiamen on the front of the tank', is the national flag of SFR Godoslavija, to aid recognition during the civil war being fought.

The extra paint and basing work have definitely paid off :)
Thanks Raider & Paul
Cracking work ! =D>
