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

Andrew - Select the photo you wish to post. On the right-hand side of the screen. Below that, you will be able to select the size of the displayed image. Click on the "BBC" link(it should copy automatically). Paste this link, in the thread.

Your interior looks fantastic!

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.
