| Thanks Mike.
Yes the kit went together very well, no real adjustments needed, just the usual trimming of the abs plastic when you first get it as everything was moulded on two sheets if I remember rightly. The main top as one sheet and then the turret and other parts on the other sheet. The Turret has a wooden built up frame inside it too.
I thoroughly enjoyed making all the extra fittings as it adds to the realism of the tank rather than just some of the moulded features on the abs plastic. I modified some of these replaced some with hand made items. All the engine vents have been opened out too and fitted with wire mesh inside to add to the realism.
I will dig out the book for you and post the name and author on here, It is available in the UK. I found mine on a visit to Chester where there is a very good bookshop.
Regards......Mark. |
