Description: The model depicts the vehicle of the famous tank column "Dimitri Donskoi" that was built on money raised by the Russian Orthodox Church. The column entered the service in February 1944, so the model depicts the vehicle of February-March 1944. The model is painted by Zvezda acrylics and artistic gouache. The inscription on the turret is made with a red liner. The model is weathered by Winsor & Newton products: oils, dry pastels and gloss varnish. Sennelier oil pastels were used to weather the tracks.
