Soo.... What did you just get???

Yes, the kit came out in 2013 and does include many new parts despite being based on their T-55A kit. I noticed

that the upper hull and turret are new and ,of course, all the Israeli mods. I didn't know that the main gun was replaced with

the 105mm from the M48/M60 tanks. These tanks have an interesting history . It made fun reading. Also, there were various colors

used on these depending on the time period. The instructions state that the markings are for an 1980's era tank. I ordered some

Mr. Color sand gray 2 1981 (Golan) paint from the Brothers Sprue, and Friuls already.  I would like to see how that miniart kit buils up😀

So Blade Runner was set in 2019. They had flying cars in the film. We're 2025 now and no flying cars ..

Guess I'll have to settle for this then. 

It still has to be one of the coolest vehicles to ever appear on film.

About 500 times  have guessed myself if I want one, maybe I should buy it. An iconic movie with iconic ca.... - er ... gliders, ...er..., spinners. I wouldn´t mind a WIP, Carl.

Rob, the kit is not bad. The overall shape is good as is the fit. 

There are a couple odd errors in it which are not too difficult to fix. Paragrafix makes a nice PE set for it that corrects much of it. There's a Japanese company that made resin figures of Gaff and Decker to seat inside it but they're not the easiest to find. 

I'll definitely do a WIP when I get going on it.
