T-44 Miniart with interior 1/35

[dov]

Hallo

 

This is my T-44 with interior. In many cases I can already tell you, the instruction and assembling is inferior.

Interior & inferior.

This kit, in my case I missed the sprue By.

So I had to scratch some parts as the front seat and rear details for the compressor decking.

The kit has typical Minart problems.

Holes too shallow and pin diameter too small.

So, therefore some work has to be done.

Much guessing for the drive unit and rear compartment.

You can not follow the instruction straight on, because the assembly is impossible.

The water pump of the engine and some piping fixed on the gear-box are such thing.

The pins for the bracket for the air intake of the engine can be fixed only with removed pins at the sidewall.

Many other things are there, where thinking forward and rethinking his instruction is necessary for not getting caught in a trap.

Without exercise on T-34 and Su-122 there is no way!

 

Happy modelling

Great metal finish on the gearbox! It’s all very clean though - any dirt coming it’s way?

@Model Mate just very few. Almost a new engine bay.

In the comming models moire wear and tear.

Hallo

Some progress. The track chain is a horror, the pins are too small, so the links fall apart. Positive: The idler wheel position is correct! Not to guess!

The turret is the to do for next week.

The decals I will use are for Hunghary 1956.

Happy modelling
