AnonymousDFB1 Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 You can start I've never built any armour other than Tamiya or Revell so looking forward to seeing this one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bullardino Posted June 2, 2012 Author Share Posted June 2, 2012 You can start I've never built any armour other than Tamiya or Revell so looking forward to seeing this one I know, but I'm finishing a T-34 right now (a dragon one) This one should be as good fit as a Tamiya, but far more detailed, as far as I know.

Bullardino Posted June 10, 2012 Author Share Posted June 10, 2012 I should start the build this evening, together with some weathering to the T-34;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bullardino Posted June 12, 2012 Author Share Posted June 12, 2012 First step. I started from the hull, as I'm already dealing with the T-34 wheels. The fit is perfect and the parts need only a little cleaning before assembly. If this is the way it will go together, this will be a fast and straightforward build.

Ian Shumsky Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 I've heard only good things about the Tasca Shermans, so looking forward to watching this build up. May even have to get one myself at some point! Cheers, Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(un)luckily we don't have those heat issues in the UK but I do have to tidy the garage this weekend so I can get back to my AB!

Bullardino Posted June 20, 2012 Author Share Posted June 20, 2012 A little progress: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Shumsky Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 Nice progress -- is there any internal detail to go in the fighting compartment or turret? I also notice that the air scrubbers are very different in shape between the Dragon and Tasca kits... Cheers, Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I will make it closed, so it isn't a great issue The air scrubbers are provided in two different shapes, one with a "house roof" on top and four straps to close them, and the one I used. The instructions say that the overall sand one used this type, so I decided to stick to them, as I didn't have any picture that could say they were wrong.
