I don't have any real interest in Soviet armour, but this kit caught my eye whilst buying paints in my nearest Modelzone - I'm a sucker for mine clearing tanks!
It's the 1/35 scale Zvezda kit built OOB. Considering the reputation that this company has this was a trouble free build, except that the tracks are a bit stiff and needed gentle heat from a hair-dryer to form around the sprocket and idler.

Looks great I may have to start getting some of the Zvezda kits now Are the tracks the rubber band type?

The tracks are rather stiff vinyl, two pieces to each side. I superglued and stapled the pieces together, looped them round and superglued the adjustable front idler. A quick blast on warm with a hair-dryer helped them to form to shape. They are held down on top of the roadwheels with wires through holes drilled in both sides of the hull.

Well done Dave - that's a great bit of work on the rollers, I've got that kit, there's a whole other kit's worth of flash and join lines to clean up there :-)
I'm planning to do mine without the rollers, but with the fork in place, with the rollers in a Zis truck following on behind, that's how they moved them from place to place.
Well done again, I'm envious

There was a fair amount of flash, but then I suppose I accept that having been brought up on old Airfix kits etc. , and having built quite a few resin and limited-run kits. Dragon/Tamiya this kit ain't, but it is good value for money.
