Hi all....I know that there are some testshot here and I've googled a little bit the thing but I wish to know your thought about the kit if you have one or if you have seen it.
Of course if you have just built one...any problems!?gaps?and what about dimension accurancy...I also ask if there are PE dedicated set or compatible ones..
Let me know and thanks in advance

It's been out in Europe for at least a couple of weeks.
I bought one yesterday at the Blast Models shop, looks very nice in the box and there are two frets of photo-etch brass but haven't compared it to my refs yet.
The two marking options have interesting camo schemes with nice decals but no "plain old green" vehicle is offered as an option.
Cheers,
Christophe

hello, Cristophe!
Can you make pics of new wheels (remastered) of MAZ?
Did you compared new with old?

Hi Anton,
Are you talking about the vinyl tyres? Those in the KZKT-537L kit look entirely identical to the ones in my MAZ-537G late kit...
The outer wheel hubs are different, just one piece instead of two, and the detail looks slightly crisper and sharper.
Please confirm you're talking about the hubs and I'll then take some photos.
Cheers,
Christophe

Hi Ciro,
This would be a great idea if I hadn't so many unfinished projects to complete first.
I'm one of those "Buy 50 kits, build 1" modellers...

Well as I said, the tyres are the same old ones, sorry. Maybe they're gonna put the new ones in future production batches?
