This is my Panda 1/35 T-15 Armata, a nice kit from Panda but the plastic is not great.
I have used the Masterclub Tracks on the T-15, as kit tracks require a lot of cleaning up and time .
The T-90SM is place alongside the T-15 for size comparison. more later..

Well done. I'm building a T-14 from Takom. How do you like Panda? I got this kit on order right now.

Keep up the good work. Can't wait to see some paint on it.


Cheers,

Interesting to see. The size of the T-15 is staggering! It is 1,5 times the size of a T-90.

Looking forward to see more

Looks nice and huge.. I've been thinking about getting one.. how is the parts fit on this one? Has it improved over the earlier Panda kits? Which Masterclub tracks did you use for it?

Looking forward to seeing more

Surely you mean you used Fiul tracks on it? I don't know of Masterclub ever doing a track set for this tank family?

Mr Hartman MASTERCLUB


A small modification you may wish to add, as it is not in the kit. exhaust deflector/cover.

You said you used Masterclub tracks and in response I explained I did not understand how you could have do so when the brand has yet to release a t-14 family track set, hence there was not any need to act so defensive.

Before this gets out of hand gentlemen...

Geoff, I don't think Timothy was out of line at all. There are more than ONE kind of Masterclub tracks. What we want to know is which exact SET of Masterclub tracks did you use? I am assuming T-90 tracks but I would prefer to know from you the actual ones instead of a guess.

No need to get upset, we are all friends here.

Yes Jacques, T-90 tracks as the Russians now use this as standard tracks, for most of the new Russian Armour.

T-90,MSTA-S 2S19,T-14 and t-15 etc.

It is bad manners, to tell a senior citizen what he means to say.

We digress, and hopefully now we can get back on track.

Hi guys,
can someone get me the measurement of the T-15?

I need to make a diorama with a T-14 and a T-15. Victory Parade 2015. Just shopping for a platform now.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Cheers,
Tom D

Tracks for Armata and T-15 are different from those on T-90. T-90 has a track without rubber pads, T-14/15 have tracks with a rubber pad, that means when they put the tracks without pads they have two holes on each track link because no pads attached.

There are T-90 tracks with and without the rubber pads. The tracks WITH the rubber pads, I forget the designation off hand, are very similar to T-80 tracks but the interior rubber facing is a bit thicker, IIRC. The ones WITH the rubber facing are supposed to become the universal tracks for all Russian MBT's.

i think there is a Ukrainian Sector35 as well, but they are a copy of plastic tracks in white metal.

I will wait for MC to make a proper set.
