I just bought the Polish PT-76B, kit no 00382. In it I found that the AAMG is from the upcoming T-62 kit.
I will post photos when I can.

I was going to show pics of the kit piece and the instructions. Also, in the corner of the sprue is the ID T-62, so I found it interesting. I have not BUILT it yet, so I do not know if it is FUBAR or not.
But I have to sort out my photo posting account on kit maker first...

Ok Gary, what are the specific problems you see and the fix for them?
I see that the lower "recouporator's" are either too low or incorrectly angled. Anything else I am missing.

Hmm, but what I really don't understand then. It takes as much effort to do it wrong as to do it right. Why with all the references available, they choose to make an inaccurate one? Unfortunately Trumpeter is the only one who could explain this. Glad I have the Friul Dshk put aside..
But nevertheless, I'm still curious on how the rest of the model will be!

Pictures as promised (thanks arcadios, but I did promise to put mine up... ):
Now, with the instructions available, Gary are you saying that F6/F1 are the messed up parts?
