Thanks jackwagon.
The kit does come with some some bits in it and the cast upper hull looks good. The one thing that in my opinion is that it is very basic. What I mean is that with today's technology there could have been better detail to some of the parts. Take for example the spare track racks. These could have better. The kit supplied one is one molded piece. They could have made the rack and tracks separate. The boxes and racks on the sides could have been molded with the rods on them or on the hull it's self. These would have offset these items from the cast upper hull as on the real tank.
But, like I said it's a very good basic model of this tank. With some AM PE or resin AM products this will build into a great model, especially with better tracks.

Forgot to mention, I am making a jig to make ALL those tie downs. I'll then make a ton of them for this baby. She is still on the bench....along with the KV I mit flak 88....and T-62 ...and well, parts for this and that. Should get some primer on the boiler too  I haven't given up on this one...the rest is easy stuff, just have to look at the ref pics and figure the best way to redo the hatches on the deck.  |

like I said guys, this will share the bench with lots of other things I've got going. Will also get the JT back on the bench. Hoping to have it done for the next two shows coming up.

Hey paul, thanks for the comment and sorry for the very late reply.
Got this one back on the bench. Working on all the tie downs. After a couple of attempts to get them all the same I made a jig , which I should have done from the beginning, and have more than enough now. Will get these glued on and then add the tool brackets etc. I'll then correct the suspension to accept the Dragon wheels....then primer time.

After taking a short break from this one, I did manage to get the build done this week. It took some time with all the scratch tool holders and tie downs...but she's done. Here is the 51 before the primer went on. I will take a couple of pics of her with the base rust color on and get that up this afternoon.     The fun part has started. oh yeah, still need to work on the AFV tracks too. |
