Hi,
I've a kit of T-35 of ICM still to build.
Now, my question is: is it a buildable kit? Does it create major difficulties or has it major unaccuracies?

Hi Massimo,
I built mine 18 years ago so memory is fading a bit.
There was a lot of oil on the parts so I had to wash them a few times with dish washing liquid to get rid of the oil.
There was also a problem with how the tracks fitted to the sprocket wheel. I had to reduce the diameter of the tooth ring by 1.5-2 millimetres.
The rest of the kit was trouble free.

I can not answer for the accuracy.

I have built it too.... I got the fruil track... only problem I remember is the thickness of the track skirts... I sanded them to a decent thickness and no problem... I used a PE kit but cannot remember which company... sorry.

Hi Robin and Mike,
thank you for your informations.
The thing of the sprocket wheel look serious, but feasible.
Do the Friulmodel tracks fit on the sprocket as it is?
