  1. I noticed that some of casted parts does not have appropriate texture. I wanted to recreate soviet armor real crude casting. Before processing. After processing. I used tamiya limonene to soften surface and then used wirebrush to create small inperfections. I think this looks far better.
  2. Yes. These old 1/16 kits have lots of modification potential. Grab if you can find good deal.
  3. Interesting vehicle. Armament is autocannons? caliber? Nicely done camo. 👍
  4. Like it...like it a LOT! 🙂
  5. Suspension arms assembled. There will be small circles to cover those srewheads. This build reminds me of old tamiya RC car kits. Suspension arm pivot tolerances were not great. I added small piece of shrinktube to compensate.
  6. Very good 👍. Perhaps some copper tone to engines could bring more color to this build and tie with those yellow stripes.
  7. 😮 that is lots of kits. Impressive indeed.🫡
  8. Manual gives instruction to use bushing B12 and lock tensioning system solid. I made appropriate spring and now it can use as real tensioning system. Perhaps this is implemented on rc model or not.
  9. Christie suspension units installed. I used plastic trips and screws to install because i wanted them to be removable if something goes wrong.
  10. Please share more photos of this stunning collection.
  11. Thank you for starting this thread 🙂. I have same kit waiting to be build.
  12. Spring taken from maglite. Copperpieces from carlock. Only one battery needed. I tried to keep everything simple.
  13. It would nice to see how trumpeter compares to hobbyboss.
  14. Have you seen two latest "workshop Wednesday" episodes? Pure tankporn 😄
  15. Have you seen "MR Hewes" and "The Australian Armour & Artillery Museum" Youtube channel? All tank related stuff. The best two which i have came across. Always entertaining and informative. Please share your favourite tank channel.
  16. I ordered engine cover grille and alu barrel. Barrel is for trumpeter kit and grille is for henglong rc tank...so further modifications expected 😬
  17. Volumeslider and speaker holes rectified.
  18. I am building working healight unit. Bulb is from maglite solitaire. I wanted realistic beam and led light is too blue and bright. If there is battery compartment might as well use it. Headlight is attached with small screw if i need to replace a bulb. The wire from healight is too thick and off scale because i wanted to use connector.
  19. I removed one speaker attachment and one to go. Next have to fill up those speakerholes.
  20. I got this for a reasonable price🙂. This is old kit and can convert to RC. So lots of mods needed😬. Crudely built as the real thing 😉
  21. Started this new build.
  22. Construction finished. I'm putting this project on hold. I have no possibility to paint this right now (small rental appartment and it's freezing outside).
  23. Hi. Just found useful link to WW II books if you are interested: https://www.cuttersguide.com/galleries/ww2/
