Not more for the moment because the SS-21 is published in the next issue of Steel Master (126)

But two pics of the interior :

I cannot speak about problems because in fact I redid many things. The complete hydraulic system, the power supply, the well of transmission, the direction back up the transmission etc.... Otherwise the basic assembly asks for a little of reflection because there is many elements to be treated before closing the top. But it was funny.

I'll buy the next Steelmaster for sure. They had great build articles about the Scrooge from Panzershop and the Ovod (or Sborka?) from SP Designs this year.

Tank Manias SS-21 is still at my stash. Why did you replace so many things? Resin parts are looking good in the box. Bad fit, lack of details, wrong design?

Regards!

Hi Laurent
When I think of all the work that has been done inside and is protected from view .... a tip: you need to build a open version

The parts inside it resin are correct. On the other hand the well of transmission is has to redo because it is lacking details. Propeller shafts and universal joints are redone as well as quite the hydraulic system.

Having well study and works on this vehicle I reports me that the width is not good. It sees itself very quickly when to arrange you the driving position with regard to the photos of real vehicle.

Never , one it's good. But you can see lot of details in the model.
