    Not a bad model from HobbyBoss ( apart from the tiny bits ), but you feel that there wasn't enough data available for the interior, the driver has a pair of steering levers, and and instrument panel, and that's it. Same for the commander/gunners position. Externally, it looks pretty good. The AK decal solution had a bad effect on the decals, the right hand serial number began to shrivel & disintegrate.
    Well, it will be a while before I attempt another tracked vehicle, with such tiny individual track links. Not only is it a matter of the size, but the fragility & tiny gluing areas.
    Thanks for looking in.

    Strange looking thing Dave. Tracks look really narrow and the gun barrel is long...

            Mr Lovell,
            unless someone does a resin model in braille scale, then 1/35 is your only option!
            Question: Are you a masochist?????
