Hi Guy's,

I am wanting to do a couple if PT76B's, one from the famous road block in Checyna & one from South Osetia with rubber skirts, extra track etc.

What needs to be done to help fix / enhance the Trumpy kit??

Cheers Mike

I can't comment on the accuracy issues, but the tracks absolutely must be changed. They are the worst kit rubber band tracks I've encountered on a modern kit. Thy won't take paint well, they look terrible and they're almost too tight to fit the running gear.

Check the height of the hull especially at rear and the slope of the front of the hull to see which version the ones you want to do are. Trumpeter screwed the hull front angle for the later version with the raised hull.

See herefor explanation:
