This is the armored train "in progress" that I build in 1/72 scale.
It is the Kozma Minin Russian Armored Train.

235 bolts (2X T34 turet from Dragon kit) for T34 wagon

265 bolts (2X AA Gun + Katyousha from PST kit) for AA wagon

2215 bolts for loco!!!

Total
2715 bolts
32X resin weels
5X kit

I hope you like it...

A really interesting and unusual project. I've often wondered about looking up a Soviet armoured train in 1:72 - not sure there are many kits out there. I'll follow your project with interest!

Hi Nikos

have you made some more progess ? I'm very interested in your work here

best wishes

Very impressive work. I am really astonished by what you can do in this scale.

Thanks for sharing - hope to see more

That is some amazing detail. I hope you keep us up to date.

Wow, it's difficult for me to even SEE anything in 1/72 scale!

Ironically, I had a vague idea of doing a 1/35 Soviet armored rail car with an aftermarket IS-2 turret, but wouldn't know where to begin.

Thank you guys for the comments…

The truth is that this project proved very difficult but I will try my best to finish it.
The progress is very low because of a little free time.

The next step that I’m working now is the basic construction of the AA wagon from plastic card.
To do this I previously build the AA gun and the Katyusha rocket launcher for dimension reference.
The Katyusha rocket launcher proved the most difficult part of the construction until now because
I must reposition it to a new angle from this how has from the kit (PST)

I will post as soon as possible the new progress pics.

Thanks
Nikos

I have a question about the T-34-76 turrets on the wagons. Which type of turret was used ? Was it the 1941 cast version ?

many thanks
Johan
