Heh, that A30 Challenger there in the background … That’s the SKP kit, by the looks of it, with a Tamiya lower hull and wheels? If this is the amount of work needed to bring it up to scratch, I will leave mine in the box for a while longer

Just stunning work. Top drawer detailing.
I think Faberge could have learned a trick or three from you Artyom. His eggs have got nothing on this

[Mini Me]

Mind boggling display Artyom!

That's quite a display you have there Artyom!:thumb2:

I am sorry for late answer. Yes. This is SKP kit. It's very poor and I decided to compare it with Tamiya. That's true. As you can see I nearly on a half way. Also you will need for A30 tracks driving wheel from Comet. And track are only from SKP model. Nobody produce them.

Thank you all for attention and compliments! Indeed tank looks great on a base. More completed to my mind.
I hope soon I will finish it and get back to A30.

I have been thinking of doing that too, though I may instead see about fixing the kit’s lower hull … not sure yet

I have been wanting to order that set, but I also want the 3.7″ pack howitzer they have announced, and am waiting for that to come out … I know for sure that I will not be using the SKP tracks I got in the kit: there is no way I’m going to drill out four 0.5 mm holes in each of the links so that those tiny pins will fit

I have done that operation with their track. That was a challenge. I hope by the end of the year I will finish A30. This tank deserve to be finished.

Thank you,Mike! I am very pleased. It is very important to me to get a feedback. Last Saturday I was on a model show in St.Petersburg and had a dozens of questions from experienced and young modelers. That was cool and I liked the reaction of children and toddlers. I think I am on a right way.

Hello my friends! Usually I am not speaking about politics at all but this time I have few words. Please forgive me. I am shocked and unmotivated. I can't model at all. My arms are shaking. I can't sleep well. I don't know when I will return modelling because all costs of this aggression will be on simple people of Russia. And it already started. I am not sure about my future.
I am sorry about writing this but I think I had to. Be in safe and healthy.
