I didn't expected so many answers. Friends, here is the story of my tank. Polish Army has obtained 53 T-70/T-70M tanks during the war. 12 of them were lost. After the war 10 or less tank were given to the Internal Security Corps (it was was a special-purpose military unit established in 1945 to combat and suppress activities of democratic underground and others). Those tanks were used in fights against Ukrainian nationalists from UPA in Bieszczady (wikipedia) in years 1946-47. One of those tanks (badly destroyed) were later put on the monument in Baligrod (a little town in Bieszczady) to remembrance the Red Army. In 1975 the tank was taken off the monument (an ordinary T-34/85 took his place) and was send to Military Museum in Poznan where it was partly restored. And this is the only one T-70 which is currently in our country. Here are the photos, then and now.
And this is the tank I would like to build.
RSandr, this tank is definitely from GAZ factory. Look at its rear.
Ruby, in the right upper corner is the armoscale set with gun barrel and a mantlet for T-70. Totally useless set, I will not use it. I have bought the eduard set because it has rounded fenders and it was cheap. I will mostly use the aber as it is one of the bests on the market. But sadly they released only a set for T-70M.
You gave me a lots of links so I have a big homework to do now.
And a one thing more:

Funny, the same were my teachers talking to me at school about the Russian language. А я тоже не слушал ...
Pan_Cerny, thanks for the answer, Marek. Good luck with the conversion. I also will be doing T-70 later. Алексей, долгострои ;0( : ЗИС-3, R-75, Т-26, БА-64Б, ГАЗ-АА
My friend you are mistaken ... T-70 did not come to Poland they were taken out en masse from the combat units because they require an additional assortment of parts whose production is often already been discontinued. On the photo above you are not characteristic of the T-70 components except the driver's hatch. The presence of tracks from the T-70M offers a 100% identification. And I do not understand on what grounds you classify this machine to the factory gas (although I tend just to him).
Добавлено (28.10.2011, 11:47) --------------------------------------------- Pan_Cerny, can take a photo and measurement tower caps and add a link to a detailed photo survey of the Polish T-70M is where I was but I can not find.
RSandr, you are probably right. This is why I've joined this forum - to meet the experts in Russian weaponry. So, you suggest that our tank is an ordinary T-70M but with some parts that comes from stocks or from other destroyed tank? The driver's hatch is old. And so is idler wheel and track adjuster (4 bolts instead of 6). You right about the latter tracks. The fenders on the tank when it served as an monument looks strange. They are rather not original.
San, thank you for the links. I know the first one, but the second one is just brilliant! Those are the photos I've always wanted! This tank looks very similar to the Polish one.
But what about those round covers in the rear? Our tank has 3 of them. That one in San's link has 4. The tank in Kubinka has also 4 covers.
Друзья, пожалуйста, помогите! Здесь специалисты из T-70. Я не знаю, лучше. Несколько лет назад я бросил модель. Теперь я хочу сделать два танка. Ранний Т-70 и поздний Т-70М .
Я думаю, что здесь поздно крышка пушки. А что вы думаете?
Я так же вижу сварную(позднюю) маску.... "каким судом судите, таким будете судимы; и какою мерою мерите, такою и вам будут мерить …" Мф.7:1. «Любите врагов ваших, благословляйте проклинающих вас, благотворите ненавидящим вас и молитесь за обижающих вас и гонящих вас»
