Hey everyone!
I noticed the GB description allowed for several builds, and since I am just itching to build a Russian tank in 1:35 (my first, and only my second Dragon kit - something which I can tell I am going to have a real thing for!), I thought I'd get right on it.
No sprue pictures by me this time, since the vendor I bought it from delivered a set in which several parts had come lose from the sprues. Suffice to say that the parts look absolutely clean, crisp, and pronounced in their detail. I have seen absolutely zero flash, and only the tiniest of mold lines on round parts of the suspension system. Kits like that are an absolute dream to build, and I hear very good things about Tamiya in that regard, too. This is what modelling is about, for me: Building, not cleaning. I'll clean my house, that should do it! :rolleyes:
Sprue pics from another copy of the kit, from a review found via the Scalemates.com model kit database: http://www.panzer-modell.de/ausgepackt/archiv/dragon/6205.htm
Below are a few pictures to show the box, and what I've done so far. The individual track links are glued together, but kept in two parts for ease of painting. Next, I will be dealing with the photoetch, something which is a first for me, and I am very excited about it
Happy building!
