Hello everyone,

I've been looking for some past workshops or final shots of this great little tank but I can't find any!

The model doesn't seem too bad (except for the vinyl tracks.. ugh) and it's cheap, so how come?

Can someone point me towards some finished builds or help me how to improve the existing kit?


This is the only reference/guide for this model that I could find(very good one too):

I have the yellow plastic version, this is the front of the box:

Thanks in advance!

Can't help with this model as I don't build braille scale models.
I just know the actual vehicle a bit and can help with some features if need be. For example, to mount the 105mm gun the turret rear plate with the shell case ejection port has been modified and is no longer flush with the turret rear wall.
The gun muzzle is a double baffle one (hope this is the correct name).
Concerning the tracks, at the time the 105mm was mounted there only were tracks with rubber pads and no longer the early ful metal type.
