Hi guys,

Just i'd like to know your comments if any of you have done this kit before ?
Mirage-Hobby "Czolg-Lekki 7TP" Polis light tank.
Especially info about tracks

Thanx from now

Hi!

I didn't started my 7TP yet but I made some research before. It's old but still accteptable model. This is the only 7TP in styrene so it's best one There's lot of aftermarket parts, first Aber photoetch, quite extensive and useful, check manuals:

Armo makes metal barrel and resin suspension for C7P carrier which fits to 7TP



Kit tracks are realy bad but you can easily find replacement. Cheapest option is RPM individual link tracks for 7TP and Vickers E series. There are also metal tracks from Friul and Modelkasten for T-26 series. Aftermarket parts let you make this model with today standards but OOTB can also be interesting.

Cheers

Well Piotr,

Thank you very much for your comments.
I always had doubts about that kid but always wanted to make it also.
How can a WWII period be imagined without a "7TP" rite ?
:-)
The only thing i wonder now the situation of it's tracks now.
Are they one piece vinyl like Tamiya's or academy etc.. ? Or "mulitple small plastic parts like Zvezda etc.. !??!

Thank you again

I'm afraid they are much closer to Zvezda or old Academy very hard and almost without any pattern. Check this in-box, unfortunatelly it's in polish but includes photos of sprues and tracks:

If you decide to build more detailed version all parts should be available at Jadar shop

They are distributors of Armo products so have lower prices. Armo barrel is beautiful

Thank you for the info Piotr
