Dobre uta Comrades!
I am slogging on with building the amazing Miniart T-44 tank. A modern and revolutionary chassis with an archaic turret. Is anyone else working on it? The turret cast texture seems a little over excited.
Not sure how to upload photos
I have photos on imgur
Advice welcome

Nice work Andrew, I have this kit, but haven't started it yet, how does it go together?

Hi There
Beautifully refined in some places and a tad frustrating in others. I think they meant you to drill holes for some parts like the track guards but forgot to tell you. The tracks are beautifully fine but a pig to take off their sprues and prepare! Most places the fit is really superb. But from the engineering point of view a lot of the joins are very marginal (not strong). So takes a bit longer to build but you win on the delicate and fine details.
