Im about to start building Trumpeters 1/16 T-34. Anyone built one and is there anything to watch out for?

Just 1 piece of advice: when building the turret, part N53 can cause problems within the main hull, and snag or even break off! I advise leaving that whole assembly off til your nearly finished.

Otherwise, it's a pleasure to build!

Yes, what he said.

It is a good kit to build, and looks great when finished.

Cool thanks. I was thinking of cutting the top of the turret too. Ive seen it done elswhere. It makes it easier to see the internals.

i was lazy & just didn't glue the Main Hull down, but DID glue the turret together.......

Hindsight is a wonderful thing, eh?!?!

Will You be doing a build log on here, GP?

Does anyone know what colour the air lines are from the tanks up front? Ive seen them white and ive seen them blue , any idea which is correct?

I would imagine whatever was to hand at the time! I did do mine white though.

This is a great kit and tremendous value for money, enjoy your build.

I did mine in blue.

Not sure if it is 100% accurate but it looks good amongst all the green and silver.
