Model Т-34-85

This model was constructed by me in 1978. The Longest time took assemblage of chain-tracks, each part — separately. It was the real test. After that, the assembly of wheels has seemed by easy walk. It was my last model of my childhood. I could not soon return to my favorite occupation. The adult life began. I have matriculated in college, and time for paper modeling practically did not remain.
