I already saw earlier your photos on FB, Dmytro
Great job so far!

I'm anxious waiting for the release of this one.
Any comments about the general fit and molding quality?

Looking great and the engine too. Any issues so far and I'd wish they would add the transmission.

I really dig how much the interior adds to the model, kudos to MiniArt for their efforts here. Now where's that T-55A..

Looks great so far. Question, I do like the bare manlet, by chance is there a manlet cover included in the kit?

Hi;

"Stellar Build" Altho, you need to add all of the electrical leads to the Engine. Then you would have A Show Winner.

CHEERS; MIKE.

Very nice job. It's a shame to hide all your work on the inside.
