Here are a couple of my primliminary mockup shots of my T-70 Turret compared the the Miniart kit.
I removed all the turret re-enforcing strips for clarity.
..as you can see the turret is asymetical as well as the mantlet is now the correct size.
The only area Miniart seemed to get right is the height..
also,please note that my scratchbuilt turret was assembled with tape and white glue for these test shots...so if anything looks a bit off..

sorry I couldn't upload the photos here...I hope Jim wouldn't mind ,Just this one time?.
A full build article is almost done and will be featured in an upcomming issue of TMMI.
All comments most welcome..
Thanks,

Very nice....I've been holding off on my T-70 waiting for this. Who's going to be selling it?

Looks good Nick. Did I include the Parola T-70 pics on the disk I sent you? If not, let me know, I've got a few.
Jim
ps - the Kitmaker link is the only place I was able to see the pics, but I'm sure it will soon be fixed!
