Tonys Zvezda 1/35 OT 26 Russian flamethrower tank

I lean towards option B being the closest to the truth, myself …

But at least you’ve got link-and-length tracks, I wish that was in more kits

[Allen Dewire]

The bogies are now fitted and ive just been introduced to the horrors of individual track links ! The four curved sections were made up of 32 separate links which had to be glued together and curved round the sprocket ( ooh , get me with the lingo!) and the other smooth wheel thingy . This experience has led me to the conclusion that all you armour builders are either- A. Very patient and meticulous or B. Bat s*#t crazy ( i’m leaning towards B :smiling5 .

Oh yes Tony, we probably are B, BUT.......Please take a moment to weigh the facts......Indy track links and maybe 15 or less decals on a finished armor model AS opposed to over 10,00 decals on the 1/48 scale Rooskie wing thingy you're building.....Hmmm, now who is A. or who is B.??? Inquiring minds want to know!!!....

I was going to buy you a helicopter kit for Christmas !

Hi Tony
You keep plodding on. Too many wheels and itty-bitty tracks. Option B does seem most likely.
I'm sure you will get there.

Right up my street, Russian and Fire, I mean what more could you want :smiling3:

Don't tell me you do separate track links in 1/87...? That definitely qualifies!

[Mini Me]

If they would make them I would use them.....unfortunately I can only get cast resin full track and running gear assemblies or the etched brass wrap around tracks. As Paul E. can attest to the standard 1/87 scale ROCO tracks are CR*P or words to that effect, having sounded off on them more than once, I must fully concur that said track assemblies, no matter how many little bits, would be more than welcome........small price to pay for that extra bit of realism in a tiny scale. :thumb2:

[Graeme C.]

Looking good Tony, all the fiddly bits will be worth it (keep telling yourself that!)
I just knew Camrade Race would appear with Russian armour & fire involved......
