I picked the Tamiya up for under £20 so I had to really. Andy Yes that's why I'm building the Tamiya Tiran for this GB too - the MiniArt kits are much more complex. Like you suggest - they will require a lot more time than three months to do them justice. And under £20 for the T-55A is a real bargain! Well done.

PlaStix Posted September 28, 2019 Share Posted September 28, 2019 Hi @Plasto @vppelt68 @Shermaniac Can I please check if this STGB is still on for starting next weekend? This weekend is currently free - so if the T-55 GB starts next Saturday I'll get all the parts of my Tiran washed today or tomorrow. Kind regards, Stix 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vppelt68 Posted September 28, 2019 Share Posted September 28, 2019 I can run it. I owe a lot to fellow Britmodeller Group Builders and that might be a way to do some good, for a change Edit: let's add @Enzo Matrix to the conversation too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot has happened for me in the past 3 years so I'm happy to step aside as host though I may take part in the build. Also happy for Stix to take over in my place. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me and Stix, at least, if Plasto doesn't show up. In which case I'd be happy to be a co-host and I believe Stix too. V-P 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

exdraken Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 just ordered a T-55... in honor of this GB http://tank-mania.com/1-48-kits.php 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vppelt68 Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 I'm going after a loose representation of a Finnish early -90's upgrade, the M as in "modernisoitu", modernized. Luckily the Revell braille scale AM2- kit appears to have the correct T-72 style tracks, sideskirts and barrel thermal sleeve. Anyways, I count that splinter scheme also to cover all the detail inaccuracies I leave unattended🤭. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jabba Posted October 4, 2019 Share Posted October 4, 2019 A quick question, not normally being a target builder. I have found a Type69-II by Takom in the loft, is this alright for this GB as having read the instructions I have got a bit confused with the history part of them? I have been told by a target builder at work that it is fine. but if not I will try and find something else. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vppelt68 Posted October 6, 2019 Share Posted October 6, 2019 Important announcement regarding eligibility of subjects in this Single Type Group Build, now hear this! This is nominally a T-55 STGB but as can already be seen and read, not just for -55:s. So, on request of a distinquished Britmodeller group builder @modelling minion the co-hosts (being @PlaStix and me) have decided the T-62 is a natural product of T-55 evolution and thus eligible to be built in this STGB. Those objecting this ruling have 2 hours (beginning now) to file a complaint, which will be dealt with in next six months time, standard office practice . Actually the T-62 was so closely related to T-54/55:s that e.g. in Spitfires early Merlin and late Griffin variants probably differed more of each other than these did.

modelling minion Posted October 6, 2019 Share Posted October 6, 2019 Well now you've made me blush! I've never been referred to as distinguished before, at least not without sarcasm or in referral to my stomach. As you have been so gracious to allow me to take part I had better go and find my kit and get a thread up and running before too long, I just hope I can do you both justice. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mig Eater Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 I dont think it has been mention anywhere but I presume the Chinese Type 59 & it's variants are eligible for this GB? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
