Taking a short break from applying rib tapes to my SSW D.III I'm lining up for my next build......................
I'll put up some detail shots:
Suspension mount
Final Drive mount
Upper Hull edging
Drivers' hatch
Side hatch - moulded in place
Top of the turret - non-slip & hatch opening
As you can see, all parts are crisply moulded, and no flash anywhere
Road wheel & drive sprocket
Tracks are link & length, with the hollow guide horns in strips - track sag is built in on the top runs
There are some very fine parts - these are the front fender mounts/springs
One of the weakest points is the barrel & muzzle brake - split into multiple parts - a lot of careful assembly & clean-up
Decals are generally generic, but then the Russians don't go for a lot of identification.
I think I'm going for a camo scheme, so I got this AK set...........................
Construction will start as soon as the SSW D.III is completed
