After a 6 month build on the Revell Corvette, it's time to return to my more familiar habit of AFVs. Although after seeing so much inspiring work here on aircraft I rather think I'll commit to the modelling equivalent of Triathlon and go for an aircraft after this
And so, onwards to the kit which has been well reviewed elsewhere and provides a modern alternative to the elderly Dragon/Zvezda offering.
I've taken quite a like to these recent Soviet bloc Trumpeter kits.
They are relatively cheap and reasonably detailed. This comes with vinyl one piece tracks which I'll replace with MasterClub resin versions
I aim to build a rather attractive and colourful machine - decals curtesy of Echelon Fine Details...
However, I can find No photographic representation of this on T'internet which is a shame.
My single reference remains this adequate Concord offering (and shame and despair that they seem to haves stopped publishing)
The hull tub is nicely moulded..
Deck fit is perfect
The original idea was to go for a straight build but you know how it is - there is a partial interior so on reflection I'll probably have some hatches open. More soon
Thanks for looking
Rob
