I actually think it looks better without the 'covers'. They ask whether cosmetic or additional armor. Since it seemed to move like sheet metal in some of the parade videos, could it have been added just to hide items until they were ready to be added or revealed?

If the propaganda is accurate then the turret is unmanned. You really don't need much more armor if there aren't people to protect. It is a good looking tank. I prefer to wait until a vehicle has actually been seen in the field before I commit to a build. There will be a production version one day, I hope.

HI;

IMHO I think you could call this Another Enigma as the T-14 is likely too change its Appearence more times that we mite care to count, and the Russian Army mite not ever see this thing in any numbers as they probably can't
aofford it. To my way of thinking its still A Paper Panzer even tho it appears that they have made around Twenty or so examples, and I still like the looks of this thing ! I have the Takom kit and it really is A Super Nice kit, the Complex Details are Excellent.

CHEERS; MIKE.
