Hi Guys,

in this thread i'm going to show you my first build. I've chosen an easy kit ( i hope ) - the famous T-34/85. Pictures from the build will follow soon.

Here are some pics of the suspension + wheels. Academy put some nice details on this kit, but please convince yourself.











By the way, it's this kit:

Nice start, Chris! This looks like a newer kit and that Academy has improved its molding process, which should make this it a lot easier to build than their older kits (i.e. my tiger). I look forward to seeing your progress!

It's not a bad level of detail. I'm curious how well the upper and lower hulls fit together once it's built.
The dragon and afv club ones sometimes have issues.

Finished the turret today. Was a pain in the a** with all that small parts. But i didn't ramp.

Good evening,

a little sign of life of my actual build. I f*cked up the tracks due to using too much glue, which destroyed the ( plastic ) track pattern. So i had to look for a substitue - and found some by Friul. Took me 2 1/2 to assemble both tracks. Here are some pictures:

Great looking build so far. Those Friul tracks sure do look nice.
