Hi

great review and great kit Ted. Can you clarify something for me. You mention the kit will be a limited edition. Do they intend to release it generally, exactly the same with full interior but without clear plastic elements?

Cheers

My understanding is that ONLY the limited-edition kits will contain the clear exterior parts, but are otherwise the same. I will be updating as more is known. It is also not clear how many kits will include the limited-edition artwork by the box artist. Best to pre-order from your retailer ASAP!

That's a cool idea for showing off all that interior with the clear hull and turret. I wondered how it might differ from a Trumpeter/Hobby Boss kit.

Be sure to check-out my build log as I tackle the engine. There are a couple of unclear points in the instructions, I've subsequently discovered. Fear not...If I can figure it out, anyone can!

Next is the working suspension, complete with coil springs...

Hi all,

I ordered two of these from my source in Taiwan. They are a very detailed kit.

The only thing I wasn't crazy about is they have rubber band treads like Tamiya used to have. Maybe AFV Club figured if you were going to super-detail the model, you'd use aftermarket treads. The working type. I use the ones from WW2 productions.

The tires on the bogies are seperate pieces, so it is easier to paint. I originally thought these were vinyl, but they are, in fact, styrene. It's the plastic bag they were in that smelled of vinyl. These are molded in black plastic.

On the box lid underside, where AFV Club advertises alot of their kits, it shows two T-34/76's and a T-34/85, all from Factory 183. So it looks as though they might specialize in this version.

Just thought you'd like to know!

This is an awesome model. Working on mine atm. I was wondering do you have any pics of the inside of the turret?
