Meet Olga,

[Guest]

Hope you go with the rubber band tracks, those sectional/ridged things are just awful. Track sag is very important with this particular vehicle, and there are ways to make the naughty snakes behave.....Jim

I think the link & length tracks come with pre-formed sag

Now That I look more closely at the photos I do believe I can see some sort of wave to them, never seen that before, almost takes all the fun out of battling the vinyl serpents, What next, prepainted, weathered, built?o_O

Moni might still choose to use the vinyl tracks! Both are very detailed, although I'm always in favour of individual link ones - you'll have to look away Jim when I start my Bronco KV 85!

Have nothing against indy - tracks but I do hate to get bogged down with them, when I did my Pershing - 180 - or so links it might not have been so bad if I didn't have to meticulously clean each one or the damn things wouldn't fit together not fun for an arthritic old goat like meops:.............Jim

Be keeping an eye on this one Monica.


Nice work so far.

Nice one Monica is she from Sweden and does her father drive a Volvo.


Sorry just a silly joke. Great work so far so watching this one

[Guest]

Yep!! I don't see any predator there!!! Where is he hidding....?


Nice to see you building a tank.

[monica]

ta lads so glad that you all like my pick,


if your going to do some think do it big and right lol,


were to start replying to your reply,s

Ha-ha I've been thinking about doing another Russian tank & this is on my shortlist!
So welcome Olga, I'll be watching you grow

well Patrick I can say that this kik is just a dream fit wise and has nice detail,

good pick Monica that is the same kit that I built and a pleasure it was -enjoy .

it real is a nice kit to work on,

Looks good moni , a nice whitewash over olive green and some rust powders would make it look great

was thinking along these lines Alan,and its been some time since I have done one,so mmite take a bit the get the eyes back in to it,

As far as I know Moni spray it with an olive rattle can and chuck some mud at it. That's what all the the other armour modellers do!!

sounds like a good plan Richard,I will just leave it out side were the magpies are and that will give it a nice wash,

A big bruiser...wouldn't want to go on a date with 'Olga'...o_O

think she would have a temper on her lol,

Hope you go with the rubber band tracks, those sectional/ridged things are just awful. Track sag is very important with this particular vehicle, and there are ways to make the naughty snakes behave.....Jim

well Jim I was heading more towards the linkable ones,


as they do have sag in them,


as you said both do have good detail in them,


will do a look and ask about both I think,and see which ones i do like better,


as the rubber band ones do look hard to tame and in the past have not had a real lot of luck with,

I think the link & length tracks come with pre-formed sag

your right Patrick they are per-formed and look good in my eyes so far ,


at the moment i,m leaning towards them,

Nice to see you building a tank.

nice claws and teeth hear Polux,just a big green beast,lol,


glad you like it so far ,need to get back to your roots at times,

[monica]

got a bit done this morning before i need to go out for the day,


primed in re/brown and then some Russian green on the lower hull,


fitted the road wheel and gave then a coat of green before weathering the lower hull


before the guards and tracks go on, see see real how much i need to do,


I do like the looks of the linkable tracks over the rubber ones,


and I think the sag they have in hem is ok for my liking ?


so what do you lads think about the sag ?


comments most welcome,


and advice on the tracks,
