    Looks typical Tamyia very nicely moulded.

      It gives the impression of only being the size it is because they needed to fit the number along the bottom edge

      But think of it this way: better to have just this one piece for something where it makes a difference, than having a huge sheet that you won’t use even half of …

        First 4 steps complete, flying together with very little room for error, pay attention at step 1 to follow the recommended order of assembly.

        Out of the two marking options, both in Russia, one has a bow MG and one doesn't, so not much in the way of options to be aware of while building.

          One track run done, no gaps at the end of the run either, always a risk with link and length.
          Hopefully it will all stay together when I remove it back off the hull, no wheels glued in place.

            Tidy work Karl,

            The kit looks to have some nice details….I was surprised to see the hull made up like that but you seemed to have it licked into shape :thumb2:

                Unlike EVERYONE ELSE ON THE PLANET it would seem, I've not done one of these!
                Looks very nice judging by the boxart,and being Tamiya it'll probably fly together. :smiling3:
                I'll enjoy following this !
                You are not alone Mr Smith.

                              Left the house at 6, done 3 jobs while driving more than 300 miles, had a panic when the hotel booking was messed up. (Agency forgot to send over payment details....)
                              Think I'm doing alright......
