discussion Box Diorama with a Soviet Self-Propelled Gun SU-122

[Jim R]

Looks a great kit John. Typical Miniart high parts count. Looks as if each stage of the instructions could be split into more manageable sections.

Hi Chris, see I'm up early this morning ! Your sensible in not asking Matron such questions .
Certainly enough sprues to make two kits .

Yes Jim certainty is a large part count, some smaller parts could have quite easily been moulded as one . At least the instructions aren't written by a x Dragon employee,( I hope )

Afternoon Mr Race,
Looking forward to seeing your latest dio and a Miniart kit too….quite an undertaking!!
Always wanted the Miniart SU-122 interior kit but couldn’t find it at a good price.

I built that engine a while ago Here on the forum, and chucked it in a t34……forgot I’d built it :upside:

A very detailed kit. Looks like it's going to do a great job

Hi Si, glad to have you on board. Just spent some time looking at the link, thank you for it .
Interested in the wiring you did , this engine is slightly different from the T34. Only some minor changes to the power plant connections so hopefully I will be able to add some cabling .
Yes agree quite a exercise, Mini Art certainly know how to make some very small parts and thin too !!!!
