Wonderful shading. I also spot some nice and subtle dirt and weathering.
I plan a similar build with a GuP T-34/85 with a Zvezda kit. It's really hard to find these Modelkasten resin figures.

Would you mind tell me where you ordered yours?
So far I could only find Modelkasten's online shop but it does not look like they sell and ship overseas.

Hi Robin. Good question. I didn't get it from the Modelkasten online store. The shop I bought them from doesn't have them anymore. These G&P figures are really hard to find nowadays or they are too expensive. I got this one a few years ago when I knew I was going to do G&P projects for sure.

BTW, I tried to register for their online shop, but it required a Japanese name and ID. LOL. Looks like I'll need to ask my Japanese friend for help later on.

PS: Robin, the Zvezda T-34/85 is a good kit. However, the GuP T-34/85 is a mix of the 174 mod (body) and the 183 mod (turret), with some small detail variations. I'm not too concerned about making a 100% accurate GuP T-34/85 copy, so I'm just using the RFM kit for a simple build.

Thank you very much Xu Ho.
Hmm... will probably just build the tank without the figure for the time being. If I ever get one without it costing me a fortune I can still place it next to the tank.

Yes, the Zvezda T-34/85 is not completely accurate for GuP but I am not too bothered by it either. Just having fun. 😄
