    Nice choice Si. Being MiniArt I'll bet it will have a load of tiny, fragile bits. I like the box art. It would be hard to model a launch though.

      This will be my entry for Lee’s Rocket/missile GB. It will be a few day before I start as I only just ordered it.
      This wasn’t my first choice but I didn’t fancy another truck build and this was £23 from Amazon!

      I’ve built the Miniart T60 before and thoroughly enjoyed it….

      Hope I can do this version justice.

        The kit arrived this afternoon via Amazon. Popped it open for sprue shots and now I remember why it’s not a good idea to unpack this lot before you’re ready to tackle it!
        So here’s how a bundle of sprues still in one box shaped bag look ?

        I have a small kit on the build at the mo so it’ll be weekend before I open up this puppy ?

          good luck Si turning that load of bits into a model as good as the "Here's one I did earlier"

              The multiple sprue’s are for tracks, wheels and rockets…

                Construction started with the hull bottom. Some lovely detail moulded on.

                  Got a good amount of the interior pieced together. Forgot just how many small parts it had but worth the effort.
                  Miniart have done a cracking job with this ?

                    That's very nicely detailed!

                    Looks fiddly though ?

                      Got busy with the airbrush this weekend. Everything was primed with Mr something-or-other then the engine was sprayed with Tamiya Chrome silver and the floor and sides with a mix of buff and flat white.

                      Once that had dried I picked out some of the details with a paint brush and then the whole lot was given a semi gloss coat.
                      Left that to dry overnight and then used a dark wash to dirty it up a bit.

                          Very nice Si. If your first T60 is anything to go by this is going to be a cracker.
