Hi all, I started this last night and thought I would share the build. All straightforward so far and progress is pretty quick.

oooooo more Russian armour...I'm in..
Si, I will follow along.
Sitting comfortably. Certainly looks a brute of a tank.
Looks a good kit Si, should be fun
Great to have you all looking in chaps, hopefully I’ll get it together without any trouble

Managed to get back to the bunker for a bit more building this evening. The torsion bars/ swing arms where added and to make things easier, Meng provides a jig to keep everything in the correct position while glueing….

Been a while since I made cakes, but I’m sure I can rustle something upGrabbed a seat at the front, gluten free cakes please Si
That jig is a very nice touch from Meng
It really helped Joe. Even when the swing arms have keyed positions they can go on wonky if your not careful
Never seen a jig like that provided in a kit. Very useful. Does Meng do that for any other of it's kits?
I know that the Meng BMR-M3 mine clearing vehicle has the same jig…..being it’s a variant of the T-72 and uses parts of this kit. I’ve not built enough Meng kits to say conclusively.
