Yes, friends. I suggest to avoid this kit . Unfortunately manufacturer didn’t visited Bovington and have no idea how this tank was arranged. But I don’t think that another manufacturer will produce a kit with this tank. Very specific topic to my mind. But I will gather all my willpower and continue struggling with this tank.

Wasn’t this kit only released about 2 years after Bronco first started making kits?
Bronco started to produce this kit in 2008. They’ve made 5 modifications. This kit is the first issued A13 by Bronco. But mistakes are common to all kits.
WIP. More and more details.

I have some good results with turret. Almost all goals with mantlet are close to be done. I still need more time and patience. And some sedative medicine of course=)
As I understood. This is a shell case extractor.
And here is a thing that was very hard to do.
This things too

Would there be casings falling and staying on the surfaces of the tanks after being exjected?
You mean will be this displayed on a model?
Very impressive and inspiring work… Much respect for your determination and dedication to get the details correct!

Thank you,Ken!
Much work ahead, but lots of improvement has been done. Some part will be added later like box for empty shells and so on. The main problems is to convert dozens of rivets into slotted-head screws.

And this is how I convert Masterclub rivets. Final variant. Slow but effective.

Some big problems with ammo shells box. Too narrow on a model. You may see it on the pictures. Holders with rivets are too close to each other. Pay attention that I have moved the main gun and machine gun on my model on a right. So if we want to save the proportions we should increase the box on it’s length. Also we need to make the holders on both sides and on a bottom because they are one piece.

After all I did it but with some assumptions. Unfortunately MK doesn’t have rivets less than 0,4mm.

Thank you! That wasn’t easy I admit that.
Seems to me it is a start of a long way. All those screws,rivets and nuts makes me very sad.I already have an understanding that the turret is an separate model.
