Trumpeters Brazil EE-T2 Osorio 10/12 ( Finished )

[Leon]

0Hi guys,decided to go way south of the boarder and build Trumpeters Brazil EE-T2 Osorio.Looks like this is going to be a clean build as there is little clean up and very few EPM's.Stay tuned in as i plan to start this today.











This is just a fill in until the release of the Trumpy T90 i want to do for the GB.

Interesting read en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EE-T1_Os%C3%B3rio and model choice too, no wonder I never heard of it... there were only 2 made.


I will follow this build as it's not every day you see a 2 built prototype model kit!

As I said before, I will follow this unusual tank build

[Leon]

Deano,glad to have you aboard .I like being different and build something no one else has built before.

Jeff,good to have you aboard.

Luigi,glad to have you following along.

Started assembling the road wheels and sprockets,will post some pics when i get the suspension started.

[TRM]

[Leon]

Good to have you along Todd .No comment on Andy bro.

Only 2 built? And Trumpeter made a kit? Wow, that's pretty strange. I had seen this before, but had no idea it wasn't a production vehicle!

[Leon]

Dupes,same here buddy.Saw a pic of this tank and never knew it was a prototype and never in production.

[pantherf]

Prototype or not, I really like it!  It kind of has that Challenger II look about it at the front of the turret & the side skirts PLUS, the duel fans on the rear hull look like one of the Leopard versions.

I didn't even know Trumpeter made this so it's like totally new to me!


Can't wait to see more!

This one looks interesting and not too many parts for a Trumpeter, makes a change, staying tuned

[Leon]

Thanks Robbo,appreciate you being tuned in .Your right about not to many parts.I'm not used to builds like this.

[Leon]

Evening fellas,just a small update.Got the wheels,return rollers and sprockets cleaned and assembled.Also got the suspension and rear plate glued on.Wheels,sprockets,and return rollers are just dry fit to see that she's sitting level.











Thanks for looking,and as always ACW.

Great start!

[Leon]

Thanks Bruce,starting to work on the upper hull now.Will post more pics tomorrow.

[Mence]

Well done Leon, I can safely say I have never seen one of these built before.

[bullardino]

I really like it

This is going to be a fun project

[Leon]

Thanks Prof,i think this might be the first prototype build here.Maybe one of our Mods can shed some light on this.

[Leon]

Thanks Luigi,should have some pics up later.

[deafpanzer]

Hardest part is over... not really but not exactly my favorite part... wheels. Not sure if you agree... great start!

[Leon]

Andy,I have to agree with you on the wheels .The only clean up i had to do on these was were i snipped them off the sprue.

[deafpanzer]

Yeah often I cut my finders that way... LOL

[Leon]

Andy,i hear you buddy .Got my share of #11 cuts .Now i use a small file.
