Here is the winners build thread, the T55 AMD Drozd.
After looking at the sprues, they show a lot of great detailing on all the areas.
There are 13 main sprues in the nicely detailed box, 13 track link sprues and some link pin sprues. A 3D print for the mantlet cover, clear sprue, wire and string for the recovery ropes, and the normal nice colour coded instruction booklet going through 30 stages upto the paint options.
I won’t go through each sprue as everyone usually flicks through those images but will give a general overview…….
No fit or parts issues this far and parts like the hull sides had very nice location slots for a precise fit. Will crack on with the running gear tomorrow .
You get the option of having like a driver’s protective shroud fitted over an open driver’s hatch, which has a front armoured section and a small windscreen and a semi domed canvas type hood covering the hatch area….. I’m just going for the closed hatch .
Under the sponson they have included 4 PE strips, as to why I’m not sure as you won’t see them with the small side skirt when it’s fitted
HI John, there are so many T 55 variants, you can keep building and adding new odds and ends forever! Looking really good! As I’m a glutton for punishment, I really like the Aber T 55 PE sets - they are admittedly, maybe a bit much (maybe a lot much! ) but a real exercise in endurance!
