This is not supposed/intended to be a build log, and by no means an in-depth review, just a post to give you some idea about what you get inside the box.
I may post more pics on the future when I start building this kit, but have to finish Trumpeter's T-72 first...
I must say that I'm a big fan of Amusing Hobby kits, but the first impression about this one is a mixed one.
The two hull parts have huge -and hard- pins fixing them to the parts sprue, you have to remove them carefully and later sand even more carefully the remains trying not to damage any detail on the hull's parts...
Not an unusual fact, but I expected something a bit more delicate from Amusing H.
Also have some doubts about the kit plastic,at first sight it seems a bit hard but brittle at the same time. We'll see while building.
The cast texture of the turret and upper hull seems fine, for my taste it is better rendered than Panda's kit.
Enough words, now to some pics. Upper and lower hull and turret just dry fitted so you can see how they fit and the general shape of the beast...
You may see here the mark left by the sprue-part pin, to be fixed later
Again some work to do later with the slight damage left by removing the part from the sprue
Some engine deck detail
Turret views, still have to check shape and dimensional accuracy
Main gun muzzle, suspensión, wheels and other stuff
The nightmare : the track pins, five frets of these...
