Hello,
today my Miniarm t72B conversion set arrived.
Now there is a little Problem. Tamiyas upper hull and Miniarms`s so not fit together.
I removed the front part of tamiya`s upper hull like on the photos at Minarm and fit it to Minarm`s upper hull. So far no problem.
But when I tried to fit the built upper hull with the hull I saw a gap of 1-2mm at the back! Furthermore the side skirts from Tamiya were too long!
Then I tried it again on another way! I took Tamiya`s side skirt as fixed point!
The result was was a gap at the stowage boxes!
I read in military-modelling an article about the T-90. The aurthor said that the front of minarm were to short!
Is it right?? Or is there another solution?
Best regards
Moritz

I remember that I had to use a lot of force to get the Tamyia hull and Miniarm upper hull to fit. That's the problem working with large resin pieces, the might have a small problem with the size.
The only solution for you seems scratching a bit, sorry I can't help

well, on my T-90 I had the same problem I managed to fill, persuade the back of the hull as I felt that would be a cleaner place to do it.

Hello,
thanks for your answers!
I add 1.5mm to the front plate. Now it is fitting in this area! Generally the complete front part is twisted! I saw through the front plate and built a little framework under the front plate. This had the task to be a connector to the other part of the front hull. My added hullpart was constructed on the on this framework with the result of "one line".
The fenders with the stowage boxes are 1-2mm to small on each side. So it is the next problem:( But I work on it!
