Just picked up a partially started Meng T-90A tank from my local shop. Previous owner probably started it but at some point he threw his hands up and tapped out.
These kits go for little over $100 bucks here; but I picked this one for $35 plus tax after some convincing from the shop owner; he gives
Me a lot of good deals, even threw in a sheet of 1/35 scale Middle East decals from Tamiya for free; how could I say no to such a deal?
I might have to ask you all for help putting this one together. I know I can handle the kit, but if I hit a roadblock, I will call upon you all for some assistance.
Luck to you. It’s always interesting to complete somebody else’s pre started kit. It looks like most of the work is pretty well done, so you should be safe with this.
Yeah; that makes sense. Unfortunately; the Voyaget PE set was not included in the box, so it m kind of short-handed in that. But it’s a $30 kit, so I can’t complaint.
Got in contact with Meng about getting a replacement for the C parts tree… $23 shipped. That’s almost half the price I paid for the kit. I will most likely just repair the part with some 0.10 strip styrene. Not going to get a new PE set, since it’s an expensive set.
I also had to remove the PE details on one of the drive sprockets, since it made the sprocket too narrow for the stock tracks to fit. I’m working slowly to make sure that all the parts are where they’re supposed to be.
yes, funnily they call him a “male” figure, yet he got the shape and the hairline. I wonder if they didn’t had backlash from the abrams with a trump figure.
It looks decent. I’m not a rivet-counter, plus it saved me the $23 I would’ve had to pay Meng for the spare Sprue or $20 from getting the PE strap set from Voyager.
I’m doing the same. I intend to build it without the external fuel drums, but leave the hangers in place. I have seen some tanks without the hangers, other with the hangers bolted sideways.
I plan to do mine with its tanks, I will use the crew from the special on other projects(not sure if those guys would fit a ukraine war 2022/23 russian tank crew tho).
