My T-34 collection has vehicles in it that are as much as 50 years old. Some are in poor condition.
Some I got new, and some I got used. Many are missing the bow MG, a missing turret hatch, and other problems. I found one with M110 howitzer tracks, half a dozen had wooden hatches.
I replaced the wooden and missing hatches with new ones made out of styrene plastic.
I repaired broken bow machine guns with wire and replaced missing machine guns with resin casts ones that I made.
The whole Russian collection needed work, and I am getting it done.
