Hello Jurgen!
Personally I'm very impressed.Good work!

The fact that you did it with just Corel Draw makes it all the more impressive. I'm truly in awe of people that can do this kind of stuff. I can barely make a flat roofed shed in Sketchup. :eek:ops:

Superior builder

I very much enjoyed your pictures and wonder how long did it take you to build and design? What scale? Please don't say 1/72 or I quit. :)

Amazing that you only used Corel Draw!!!!!!!!

I hope you plan to do more models as I'm sure they will be great and better (if that is possible) models also. Your English is just fine. John

Very nice 1/25 T-20 - interesting vehicle which hasn't been modeled in paper as far as I'm aware.

I'll presume to fill in some details about the T-20. Designed in the mid-30s as a light artillery tractor - apparently quite successful in that role - the seats were for the gun crew. About a 100 or so were converted to SPGs by removing the seats and adding a 57mm or 76mm gun - these were used extensively in the battles in front of Moscow in 1941.

All it needs is a 45mm or 76mm model gun to tow...

Are you going to release the model commercially? - it certainly looks good enough.

Regards,

Charlie

Another master traditionalist!:yep:

Don't worry about your English skills - you have no problem getting your point across (and on some days they might be even better than some of us so-called native English speakers)! :rolleyes:

How did you do those incredible tracks? Unbelievable...8)

Looking forward to more from you Jurgen!!!

The T-20 was based on tankette designs so it's not going to be a big vehicle.

On the Russian battlefield site (The Russian Battlefield) there are images of T-20s towing both the short barrel 76mm ZIS and 45mm anti-tank guns. The standard 1930s set up seems to have been to tow a limber as well as the gun - I guess the T-20 was too small to carry the gun equipment and ammunition.

regards,

Charlie
