Hello everyone,

Does anyone know the quality of Trumpeters Chinese Type 85IIM kit? Is this kit in line with some of their early releases in terms of detail or lack thereof?
Secondly does anyone have or know of the best source of information on modern Chinese armor?

Thank you!!

Hi Kurt,
unfortunately this kit is of the old standard in terms of quality. It's toy-like and add poor detail. The tracks are wrong and awful, the roadwheels get a screw to tighten them, the barrel looks strangely slim ...

To get some info about PLA armor try this :

Certainly other members could add interesting links.
