I have just started this build and will post updates and photos as i go - probably tomorrow will be the first.

this is my first non NATO vehicle and i am looking forward to it, oh i went with the Trumpeter kit.

Great to see someone building one! I have a Trumpeter kit in my stash as well.

Awesome! I've got the Academy kit in my stash! I'll watch along as well. Glad someone is tackling the Baby Abrams! Cheers!

Good luck on it. I built the Trumpeter version many moons ago (about 5 years). It had no real issues. I did find that the turret stowage boxes had no bottoms. I closed them off with sheet styrene. The Commander's Independant viewer needed some extra attention too.

Here's mine.
(sorry for the poor pics. I had a cheap digicam back then.)

ok i can't seem to persuade the photos to upload so let me work this out and then i'll get them on - sorry.

I had the same problem. I reduced the size of the photos and they uploaded fine.

As a Korean, It must be very interesting to me!
I have heard that the Trumpeter kit has some problems especially for the turret location; it is too forwarded.

I wish you complete the kit beautifully and will be waiting for your update!

Cheers!

Hey Hellgunner

Trumpeter just announced today.. workable plastic tracks for your K1A1. Not sure how long until they come out but it might be something to think about if you're not a rubber band fan.

ok, so i still havn't managed to get the bloody photos to upload - i dunno maybe i could e-mail em to someone who isn't apparently inept



anyway - absolutly no issues with the build, the turret boxes now have bottoms cast, not a difficult kit but a few fiddly bits - especially with hands as big as mine

now building trumpter C1 Ariete uparmoured,

Make sure the individual files aren't too big.. and that you aren't loading too many at once. Try that as those are the two main issues if you can't upload them.

I'd like to see you photos! Cheers!
