 I've already started this one so here's a catchup update . The torsion bar suspension that works .    Nice texture on the hull ends .   The turret surface cast texture is ok but I added more .  A pe strip with bolt head detail is provided in the kit . A real pita to bend and fit prperly .  So I removed them and used Meng boltheads .  Tracks are beautiful  Paint on .  And stripes on .  Thats where it is today . More as it gets done .  |

Having been known to build the occasional soviet AFV, I couln't resist popping by. Nice work Carl! Really like the look of this one - I'll have to try one of them myself sometime.

Hell yeah!!!! Love the white stripes...
Bought me first Meng kit last summer and I was very impressed when I opened the box... the Bradley with full interior.

Adt , Dierk and Andy they are nice kits for sure and well with the bucks IMO. Dierk this is the second Meng Soviet armor I've built after their T-90 which is a beautiful kit . Andy , I've got that kit laying in my stash . Everytime I open the box it screams overwhelming detail ! So I get affraid and close it up real fast !  |

Kit tracks looking superb - don't think Friul will be selling many sets for this kit.

It is a beauty how weathering especially burnt umber can bring the colors together!
