I am entering my Zvezda 1/72 T34/76 in the From Russia with Love GB. I am late entering but better late than never I suppose 
This is my first time doing armor this small so I thought I would start with a smaller and easier kit. Of course I couldn't just leave it be at that so I added some photoetch to it.
As you can see the details aren't high quality but again it is 1/72 and it is Zvezda but I was actually somewhat impressed
Cut the molded fenders off and added the P.E fenders on. pretty easy process being the size
fenders have been put on and the rear engine(?) access was removed and the P.E. access. This was 2 parts, the mesh top and then the slits from within.
I drilled the exhaust for added depth to the kit. I think it turned out pretty good
heres some work done on the turret, I still have more to do but as you can see its coming along
I removed the molded barrel and replaced it with a styrene tube and drilled the bore to add more depth to the turret. There is more to be added and will post more as its done
the majority of the gaps have been filled and sanded and cleaned but still will have to do this after primed I know this but I wanted to get a jump start.
That's it for now will post more in a few. Thanks all
