Minicraft 1/48 T-34A



Seems to be a very nice kit, well engineered and detailed but not fiddly, at least so far. I made a decal for the instrument panels from an image out of the pilot's manual. It says it needs an ounce of weight in the nose, which is a complication.
I am working on making a mold to cast a weight that will fill most of the space. I tried hand shaping a weight but I can see that's not going to work. We'll see what happens. The mold will take a day or so to cure hard
enough to pour lead into into it, I developed the shape with modeling clay and poured high temperature silicone over it.  I'll do more for the seat belts later.  The camera has no mercy.
